[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 585617, member: 40658"] Coenie is a better Tighthead than a loosehead. And we are going to play with the new Scrum rules (hence the selection of Guthro). So I am not too worried about the Scrums, as the props and the Hookers that were selected, are big strong guys. I think HM was very clever with the Forwards he picked. He picked the Traditional Big Strong heavy guys (apart from Kolisi). With this new scrum laws, and the hit basically not being such a big factor, the heavier packs will gain the upper hand against lighter packs. And the art of actually hooking a ball will be of vital importance. As for the Backline, I think you are forgetting we have utility backs. Jean De Villiers and JJ Engelbrecht can easily slot in on the wing and Lambie at centre. Kirchner, Willie and Lambie can cover fullback, with only Jan Serfontein and JDJ as specialist centres. That being said, I am interested to see who will be called up when the injuries happen, as this will be the game-changer. [/QUOTE]
