[QUOTE="SavageLez, post: 324469, member: 40560"] Iron Mike: You are almost 100%. Yes, SA won the Tri Nations, why? Exactly as yo upointed out above. Most of those players deserved to be there! The only problem is that this selection is not consistent. I mentioned earlier- The coach picks arguably the best team in the first 2 tests against B/Lions. SA take a 2 nil lead against this very strong side. PdV then in his wisdom makes nine chnages so that his team can be politically correct. SA then lose and he blames the player and say's he can now see that certain players can not play at this level. As mentioned in an earlier post - it is an honour to play the Lions @12 years and there are players working hard to play against them. It is not fair on the Lions or the deserving players. With regards to your statement about Jacobs and Fourie's form until Lions series. The Lions series was before the TRi Nations so again my point proven. Fourie scores the Try of Year (Literally voted as such) but Jacobs gets to start ahead of him in the Tri Nations. It is radiculous! I am not saying that these players are not good. What SA is saying is play the best player not the best quota player. [/QUOTE]
