[QUOTE="George Ford, post: 918364, member: 74118"] While all of the PSDT & JLDP discussion is a good selection poser to have, due to the Franco Mostert conundrum.. Why must the Springboks always have issues with players availability? As if we don't already create our own challenges internally (SA Rugby & Provincial Union cohesion, social cohesion with quota system) - least to mention injuries not of our own making. And now we have players having to show good faith to their clubs. Why can't we just select our best players when we have to? I realize my plight might sound like a broken record. And sure this provides for the opportunity to give other players the chance to get more test experience, but in reality it actually stands to benefit the country of the club where the paymaster is. Now we have a scenario where Willie le Roux who plays for Wasps - might/will not play for the Boks against England, but his club teammate - Elliot Daly - will most definitely play against the Boks. I really want the Boks to give England & France a good hiding, if not without the players plying their trade in those respective countries. [/QUOTE]
