[QUOTE="MunsterMan, post: 270701"] 1. Beast 2. Plessis 3. Smit © 4. Botha 5. Matfield Blindside - Smith Openside - Brussouw 8. Heaslip 9. Du Preez 10. Jones 11. Habana 12. Roberts 13. O'Driscoll 14. Pietersen 15. Kearney South Africa 10 - 5 Lions Smit and Smith played in all 3 tests. It was tight between Brussouw and Wallace, who had a great time spoiling and stealing ball against Burger and topped it off with a few excellent carries and tackles, but Brussouw won the head the head in the first test. Heaslip was the top tackler in the first test, and was a bit hindered by Croft IMO in that he had to change his natural game. Pienaar had a great first test, and a very poor second test, Steyn is a great kicker but stands too deep and runs across field, doesn't hold defenders or threaten the gain line which puts the players outside him at a disadvantage when his pack isn't on top, like in the third test. Stephen Jones on the other hand plays very flat, and does hold defenders and threaten the gain line, makes more space for the centres and is much nicer to watch, easy decision. 11-15 picks itself.
