[QUOTE="SomeOke, post: 868792, member: 59145"] We need to beat Aus home and away, and Arg home and away. Anything less and I won't be satisfied, especially with the Aussies struggling at the moment. There are still a few question marks in the side but quota's are just a reality we are going to have to live with and embrace, it does mean that 3, 9 and wing doesn't really look right but what can you do. I'd have loved to see Kwagga in the side more than anyone else but his red may have ruined it for him (that and our incumbents from the French tests all played well). Other than that RJVR and Combrink NEED to be part of this side, they are two of the out and out game-breakers that we have in SA but I suppose you could argue they are coming back from injury. Surprise surprise I'm still giving DDA chances, RJVR is clearly better but I don't think Voster is, Venter didn't have as good a season as he did last year, and I do think we're looking for a more explosive option at 12 (I like Venter at 13, for his line running and defensive organization). I worry about the lack of Whiteley in the side, he's one of the most mediocre loose forwards in the bok set-up but it's unbelievable what his presence does do a team in terms of leadership, for me we can't leave him out when fit unless he really dips in form (and he's perfeectly fine). I was a big proponent of the PsdT and Eben lock pairing, and was quite scathing of Mostert but I take it all back, he's the real deal and a vital cog in our machine, Eben and PsdT perhaps suffer from being too similar and Eben is on better form atm. Excited for the games, going to grab tickets for Newlands, bring it on. Edit: One of our incumbents will have to manage, I think Kolisi, Kriel, and JLDP have all played their but none very often, Kolisi is least likely I'd say. [/QUOTE]
