[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 512072, member: 39190"] Some of the better players this series out injured on both sides; Alberts, J Kruger, Robshaw, Lambie, Oosthuizen and Youngs have all had some outstanding moments. And then Frans Steyn is getting married... wow, we are missing 5 of our best. At least it'll be a good test of depth. Considering our squad what i'd like to see for the 3rd test from SA 1 Mtawarira - no-brainer with Oosthuizen injured and us moving on from Steenkamp 2 Du Plessis - colossus 3 Du Plessis - has been in better form than for ages past and the only other tightheads that could push him for his spot aren't in the squad; Cilliers and Mujati 4 Etzebeth - has shown glimpses of S15 form in the 2nd test, hopefully he continues to grow in stature with the exposure 5 ? - with Kruger and Bekker out.... Anton Bresler? Emergency call to Danie Rossouw? Play a loosie out of position? Who? Spies maybe? Take a chance on a bolter- Quinn Roux and PS du Toit are young and untested but both have done it at age group... Flip is the only other lock but our line-out has already not been a shining light and our scrum looked weak with him in an unfamiliar position. I guess I'll settle on Spies for my picks. He is very capable in the line-outs. 6 Keegan Daniel - for until Alberts or Burger is fit 7 Jaques Potgieter - has the abrasiveness that Alberts brought and and that has proven so successful thus far 8 Marcell Coetzee 9 Hougaard - needs the test experience at 9 to develop his game further 10 Steyn - just because Lambie and Goosen are both injured and its pointless to change overly much without a reason 11 Bjorn Basson - because Habana is breaking himself and we need him for the S15 again LOL 12 Jean de Villiers 13 ..... call up De Jongh FFS!!!!!!!; I just can't get myself to call on Olivier. 14 JP Petersen - I'd keep him at 14; having played 13 all year isn't good for him IMO. 15 Joe Pietersen 16 Adriaan Strauss 17 Werner Kruger - no one else in the squad. I'd call up Pat Cilliers but oh, well. Does anyone know if Greyling has tighthead experience? 18 Flip vand er Merwe 19 Joshua Strauss- just to give some fresh faces a go and add hunger and intensity to a team that just might think they have it in the bag beforehand 20 Ruan Pienaar 21 Elton Jantjies 22 Gio Aplon [/QUOTE]
