[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 800866, member: 40658"] Yeah, but the model isn't finalized yet, and rightly so, as I think a call should only be made after AC and his squad has had a few matches behind them. 9 uncapped players are in the squad for this series, and it begs the question that we always see in the first year of a new coach, will the same squad be selected for the more demanding Rugby Championship, which has a higher value than the incoming series. My guess is that a guy like Bismarck for example, will be too important to just throw away completely for the Boks. So rather use this Irish series as a foundation to work from. Back to the match at hand, as this is after all the match thread, I see that PS Du Toit is still with the team, and could still play this weekend. [/QUOTE]
