[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 803130, member: 40658"] I wouldn't read too much into that though. AC has been vocal this week in that he won't make wholesale changes for the 2nd test. My guess is that if there are going to be changes, then it would be: 3. Julian Redelinghuys in place of Frans Malherbe 5. PSDT in place of Lood De Jager 7. Jaco Kriel in place of Francois Louw or Siya Kolisi 14. Ruan Combrinck in place of JP Pietersen I doubt that there would be other changes, maybe Warren Whiteley and Duane Vermeulen swap as well. I just think that AC is going to pick a few more Lions players because it's on their home field and the way in which he singled out the Lions team and coaches ahead of this series. It's clear that he has a lot of admiration for them and will promote the guys selected. Remember that when HM took over he had about 12 debutants in the first year in charge, with the idea of getting the team ready for the World Cup. Maybe AC will do the same, and he knows the benefit of that while being assistant coach under Jake White's reign. I think the fringe players that has been left out of the "A" team, has been probably given the chance to join the Bok camp to get more acquinted with the Springbok culture. [/QUOTE]
