For the Springboks, how far do you realistically think they’ll go in the RWC?

[Bull]

I'm not concerned by Kolbe's defence or under the high ball, Mapimpi and Nkosi are my concern to who of those two are picked. I've had a close look at Nkosi and he is scared especially against bigger opponents. Willie is also suspect on defence some times. If Marx can sort out his throwing he is the first choice Bok hooker. My biggest concern is however at 3 where Rassie seems to be persisting with Malherbe, he is useless.

Nyakane has to start surely?

Genuinly think they are real contenders for this one. They have shown in a one off they can rough it with NZ and really dont think they will fear anyone. Solid and direct with some serious strike runners working off the best balanced and all round halfback partnership in the tournament. Pollard is also a decent kicker.

He was injured last week remember.

He was injured last week remember.

Not only that, he was in South Africa this past week with the birth of his 3rd Child. He only arrived back on Saturday and had his first running session yesterday. Seems like they will do a fitness assessment on his knee on Tuesday.

But I doubt he'll start.
