[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 109651"] At this stage, my money on a Bok 30-man squad will be something like this: Fullbacks:Percy Montgomery and Frans Steyn Wingers: Brian Habana, Breyton Paulse, Akona Ndungane, JP Pietersen(who can also cover 15) Centres: Jean De Villiers, Wynand Olivier, Jacques Fourie Flyhalves: Andre Pretorius and either Butch James/Meyer Bosman(who can both cover 12 in a crisis) Scrumhalves: Fourie Du Preez, Ricky January and Ruan Pienaar(who can also cover 10, and if necessary also 12) Back row: Schalk Burger, Juan Smith, Pierre Spies, Kabamba Floors, AJ Venter. Second row: Bakkies Botha, Vic Matfield, Danie Rossouw(who can cover back row also), and Barend Pieterse(currently injured Cheetah, virtual Matfield clone) Front row: Os Du Randt, Guthro Steenkamp, BJ Botha, CJ VD Linde Hookers: John Smit, Gary Botha, Chilliboy Ralepelle(provided he returns from injury) I`ll go with the usual suspects in the backline- Monty, Pietersen, Fourie, De Villiers, Habana, Pretorius and Du Preez, with Steenkamp, Smit and Botha in the front row, Botha and Matfield in the 2nd, and Burger, Spies and Smith in the back row- that way, you get Spies` speed to the breakdowns, Burger`s work on the floor, while still getting 5 line-out jumpers also. The line-out is especially important to the SA style of play, esp. with Pretorius who`ll look to turn the opposition by kicking for the corners. [/QUOTE]
