[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 1033413, member: 40658"] Well I think we will get a better picture after the alignment camps that Rassie and the coaching team is starting today at the franchises. My guess is that the SA "A" team will basically consist of players who have been capped and didn't make the Springbok main squad, as well as the youngsters who stood out. I think there were a lot of guys who put their hands up in the local tournaments, without even needing to consider the overseas based players. I think our stocks in certain areas that might have been a concern, has also improved, and with injuries, there will be some guys making debuts. If we look at the lock department, with our top locks out injured, there is certainly a chance for guys like Van Der Mescht, Shickerling and Nortje to play for the Boks. What is clear from the warm-ups, is that the idea is to play a fast-paced game, and fitness will have to be a top priority, a lot of focus was made on getting the ball wide and having the outside backs make a run for the corners.
