[QUOTE="SomeOke, post: 493486, member: 59145"] Hmm, as much as I'd like to see some young players in the side we also don't want to over expose anyone, they do need to be managed well or we could ruin them. I doubt Heyneke will have more than one debutant in the starting 15, with probably 2 more on the bench. I definitely think Etzebeth should at the very least crack the bench as well as the stand-out of our young loosies (Potgieter has probably been the best thus far but I could see Coetze, Stander or Kolisi cracking the nod depending on form) and a promising back line player like Rob Ebersohn or Taute. Other than that I don't see him doing anything drastic, I can live with Johan Goosen getting a season or two of Super Rugby before we rush him into the side. Fly-half is a hell of a lot of responsibility for a young player as Elton discovered to his detriment. Also Hougie must start, even if FdP would be marginally better (in June) Hougie needs to be groomed, FdP will only get worse (especially playing in Japan). [/QUOTE]
