[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1005301, member: 56232"] I can kinda understand some omissions and repeated selections but our situation at scrumhalf makes no sense at all. Youngs and Heinz will be 34 and 36 respectively if they went to the next world cup. Off the top of my head I can't think of any scrumhalves who have been that old at a world cup. It's not like they are so fantastic we want to keep hold of them, there is absolutely no reason to retain either. The scrumhalf situation was stupid 2 years ago and is gradually getting more and more ridiculous. Giving more caps to the pair of them is just further reducing the chance of bedding in suitable alternatives. Realistically we could be looking at 3 years tops experience for 1 replacement and probably even less if he gets a 2nd replacement. [/QUOTE]
