[QUOTE="Durbanite, post: 909248, member: 73156"] Biggest surprises on the team for me are definitely TdT not starting with Malherbe being a bit iffy and Ralepelle's rather sudden appearance. Would've preferred Mbonambi and Pollard started and Brits/Ralepelle and Elton came off the bench but it's not a bad team. Glad Esterhuizen is getting his start, let's hope he shines. It's a pity Am is out, he's really suffered playing off DDA imo, pairing him with AE would've helped his game and allowed him to hit those deadly lines again. People saying Kriel is on fire lately so hopefully that's the case. Excited to see Papier and Gelant in action. A bit worried about defence out wide still and perhaps PSdT should've been started as a lock with JL at 7 and Mostert on the bench for this one. Seeing Brits run on should be strange, I am doubtful of his usefulness with all our options at hooker, but with Rassie wanting experienced chaps rubbing shoulders with newbies it's a good way to go. It's definitely a team that can get the job done and I'm still in the honeymoon phase where all changes make sense but I think Newlands won't be as easy for us as Ellis Park or Bloem, combined with wet weather should make this closer than the second test imo [/QUOTE]
