[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 607416, member: 39190"] Jannie du Plessis and Frans Malherbe injured tightheads and it's something of a problem area in SA at the moment, particularly seeing as Brian Mujati seems uninterested in returning for the Bokke and every guy coming through showing remote talent being scooped up by a European club team before his 2nd year. Morne Steyn has gone alright this year behind a dominant pack and FdP, this time he has at least one of those missing and Pienaar gives the guys outside no time at all. It is rather strange that this fixture isn't a more frequent one but, yes, the rarity adds value certainly. I think this is the game for the big boys to start but, yeah, I'd be gutted if both those young forwards don't get 20 minutes. 9 is a worry, yes, at least beyond FdP who we can't bank on half the time with his availability issues. At 15 though, I am just glad we have a potential world class 15 for once and will take that any day. I think the fact that we can't think of guys able to stand in for these two is just as much a reflection on their worth/ability as on the lack of depth in those positions in SA currently. [/QUOTE]
