[QUOTE="rugbywriter, post: 322044, member: 42104"] The Boks have 2 matches coming up against Italy. Hopefully for both those matches, our stars will be given a break. What should happen is the guys that are 2ND BEST IN EACH POSITION should be played. Not some guy second best, the other guy fourth etc. All the second best guys should play, basically, anyone that will come on in next year's world cup in case of injury. What annoys the hell out of me about PDV is when he rests his guys he just puts the most random team on. It isn't building a team, he just puts any arb oke on the field. Look at the Leicester and Saracens matches as proof. My team for Italy would be: 1. Wicus Blaauw 2. Tiaan Liebenberg 3. WP. Nel 4. Danie Rossouw 5. Andries Bekker 6. Dewaldt Potgieter 7. Juan Smith 8. Ryan Kankowski 9. Sarel Pretorious 10. Butch James 11. Francois Hougaard 12. Wynand Olivier 13. Juan de Jongh 14. Lionel Mapoe (That's right. I don't even think of JP. Pietersen as second string.) 15. Riaan Viljoen 16. Schalk Brits 17. Gurthro Steenkamp (Is not the best loosehead in the country, come on!) 18. Flip van der Merwe 19. Jean Deysel 20. Duane Vermulen 21. Ruan Pienaar 22. Pat Lambie (Trust me, I'm not one of those fanatics that over-rates him, but just to give him a taste of international rugby. It's bench for the B team.) All of the above players could be in the world cup next year in case of injuries to our fist choice players. Guys like Januarie, Earl Rose, Alistair Hargreaves and others have absolutely no shot and shouldn't be playing, as there is absolutely no point. [/QUOTE]
