[QUOTE="KZNSharksFan, post: 171513"] You have to remember that Botha is there to do specific, very specialized jobs, as is Matfield. Botha is there primarily for his mongrel instinct which intimidates the opposition as well as his ability to play as a fourth (slightly slower) loose forward- clearing out rucks etc. Matfield obviously is the Lineout kingpin. Interestingly, all great lock pairings have been made up of t players who work in tandem perfectly. ie Colin Meads with Sam Strahan, Frik Du Preez with Pieter Naude [/QUOTE]
