[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 1041412, member: 40658"] I think the squad is a pretty decent squad, and based on what Nienaber as well as Rassie had to say about guys missing out, there are good reasons for their exclusion. They specifically mentioned Marcell Coetzee and Cornal Hendricks. Coetzee's omission in mostly due to his lack of substantial game time the past 18 months. But he's in for a chance should there be any injuries, like Vermeulen. From what I've read, should Duane need surgery, he'll be back in training before the tour kicks off. But he'll miss out on the Georgia tests. Cornal Hendricks wasn't selected due to his legal dispute with SA Rugby in relation to his previous medical condition. I think we also need to take a realistic approach to the newcomers, I think it's inevitable that more of the black players will be picked ahead of others such as with the hookers, although, I think Dweba has been knocking on this door for a while now. Same goes for Nohamba, although i think he'll be there mostly for the SA "A" game. [/QUOTE]
