[QUOTE="TRF_Ezequiel, post: 550702, member: 42683"] Well, that's the problem. The squads are announced so late that I have to do some guessing here or there. I am not even sure some of the players mentioned will be in the squad. They might be added later due to injuries/suspensions etc. but it's not possible to write a proper review with accurate squads since there aren't any yet. Most teams will only announce them in the coming days. Marnus Schoeman for example, was named by many as a squad member for the Cheetahs. Given his phenomenal performance in the Currie Cup last year, and the fact that Brussow is very injury-prone, I even considered Schoeman being a regular starter this year. That's why I included him in the art work. However, on Wednesday, Schoeman played with Griquas when they faced the Kings in a friendly. That suggests he won't even be in the initial squad. However, next week things could be all different again. That's the thing with the SA conferences. You never know who will be part of the team until 2 days before the season starts (which is next week for NZ en SA teams). Regarding Hattingh: He did play most of his career as a flanker, so I put him there. In both positions however, there's more than enough competition so we might not see him at all this season.
