[QUOTE="rugbywriter, post: 320024, member: 42104"] Had to check that I didn't write that! Agree with you 100%!!! Kirchner is so very average, if he was playing for any team other then the Bulls he would not even be looked at twice. As for Januarie starting over Pienaar, I agree that Januarie is not exactly du Preez, but who else? I know Duvenhage, Vermaak and Sarel Pretorious are all better then both Januarie and Pienaar, but you guys should really make peace with the fact that De Villiers is a complete idiot when it comes to selection. I didn't expect Duvenhage, Vermaak or Sarel to make it, even though they very much deserve it. I also expected Kirchner to make it, even though he most deffinitely doesn't deserve it. I also didn't expect Gerhard van den Heever or Francois Hougaard - our top wings of the season - to make it. The Boks will never again have a regular white wing. They know that they have to put X ammount of blacks/colourds in the team, and they know that black guys excel on the wing. So wing will always be used to include some quota players, not that Gio Aplon is a quota player. He is very good, but van den Heever and Francois Hougaard I feel are a lot less mistake-prone, which is what the boks need. My 22 for this game would have been (With injuries) 1. CJ van der Linde 2. Gary Botha 3. BJ Botha 4. Danie Rossouw 5. Victor Matfield 6. Schalk Burger 7. Francois Louw 8. Pierre Spies 9. Sarel Pretorious 10. Morne Steyn 11. Bryan Habana 12. Jean de Villiers 13. Jaques Fourie 14. Gerhard van den Heever 15. Frans Steyn 16. Schalk Brits 17. John Smit 18. Flip van der Merwe 19. Dewaldt Potgieter 20. Dewald Duvenhage 21. Butch James 22. Wynand Olivier [/QUOTE]
