Yip. Combrinck in, Rhule out. Rhule doesn't offer enough on attack to make up for his poor defense; 3/8 on the weekend. He also doesn't offer the extra fullback cover and that monster boot Combrinck does. I also think we can do better than Skosan. Test rugby isn't SR and the Bok wingers see less ball in space than the Lions do in SR. Mvovo for me please. The guy has the experience, can do more in less space and has additional skills. That or a beast of a winger who can bust tackles and off load like playing one of Rohan Janse van Rensburg or De Allende at wing. TBH I think De Allende has played some of his best rugby on the wing.
Also Kitshoff to start and Mtawarira to retire. The last game really hammered that home if AC couldn't see what everyone was on about. For instance in 1/3 the time Kitshoff made 19m off 4 runs while Mtawrira could not make a single meter off 3 'runs'. Not even an offload for Mtawarira while Kitshoff racked up 1 clean break, 2 defenders beaten and an offload. He was also close to helping Andries Coetzee make it to the try line whereas Coetzee probably wouldn't have had a shot without. If Hougaard could've kept hold of what was a fair offload from Kitshoff that would've probably been a try right there. Its not as if Mtawarira adds more in defense or at scrum time either. Time to move on. If skinf color is the issue then rather bring in Nche, Nyakane and Gcoboka- whomever looks in better form.
