[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 550720, member: 24910"] Thanks! I was one of those people who who was pushing for Hougaard to start on the wing for the Boks, but he never really performed as well I had hoped. If he does start at halfback I just hope the Bulls employ a gameplan that makes use of his running skills (and by the sounds of it this was the case in the trials..). I haven't heard of Morne Mellet. I assume Greyling will still be the incumbent LH? I can understand why you wouldn't want him starting if his display versus the AB's is anything to go by though! The loose-forward mix is interesting. Personally I like the trio you have selected, but I'm sure we will continue to see a lot of Stegmann (who is a bit of a penalty magnet). It would be great to see a bit of Handre Pollard this season, but I think it may still be a year or two too soon for him. He certainly looks to have the size to cope at this level already, I would just be worried whether or not he was mentally ready to make the big step up given his young age (18/19?). [/QUOTE]
