[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 334838, member: 38640"] I wasn't going to bother, but now I'll have a shot. 1. [B]Tendai Mtawarira[/B] - I rate him really highly. Seemed to step up in the Springboks jersey. 2. [B]Gary Botha[/B] - Best hooker in South Africa in my opinion. 3. [B]CJ van de Linde[/B] - I have always rated him. 4. [B]Dannie Roussow[/B] - Best avalible lock. 5. [B]Victor Matfield[/B] - Still the best lock in the world, just a little out of form. Would make a better captain than Smit is in my opinion. 6. [B]Schulk Burger[/B] - He'll be a valuable player till the day he gets banned from professional rugby. 7. [B]Juan Smith[/B] - He's playing well in the CC, I'd like to see him in the Springboks team. 8. [B]Ryan Kankowski[/B] - Like I've always said, Spies is a luxory to have in the team. He'll be awsome while the teams winning, and invicible while they're not. Kankowski needs a go in his natural postion 9. [B]Francois Hougaard[/B] - If we didn't make it in the squad as a scrum half, I'd have put him on the bench as a winger. I thought he was the Bull's best player this season. 10. [B]Morne Steyn[/B] - Because there's no one else, and he is actually a very good player. 11. [B]Bryan Habana[/B] - Given a bit of space, he's still South Africa's best winger. As an AB fan, I feel least comfortable when Habana is playing against the AB's. It's important to remember he was being covered by Cory Jane in the last few tests. 12. [B]Jean de Villiers[/B] - Put him in the squad in the 12 jersey. 13. [B]Juan de Jongh[/B] - He'll add an attack SA need. 14. [B]Jongi Nokwe[/B] - (Jer1cho, great choice). In my opinion the fastest winger in South Africa. He's got mad skills. I never understand why he hasn't been given more game time for the Boks. Favourite South African player. 15. [B]Gio Aplon[/B] - South Africa need to play an attacking game, and I think all three players in the backline would be lethal. Handleing would by my only concern. 16. [B]John Smit[/B] - He's old and fat, but he has plenty of experience, and not putting him in the team would be a huge disruption for the SA side. 17. [B]Guthro Steenkamp[/B] - Least favourite South African player, but he's been solid enough. 18. [B]Flip van der Merwe[/B] - With no Botha or Bekker, not many other options. 19. [B]Pierre Spies[/B] - Would be a handy player to have if South Africa look like their winning. 20. [B]Jano Vermaak[/B] - No other options, which is weird for SA. 3rd choice behind Hougaard and obviously du Preez. 21. [B]Willem de Waal[/B] - To be honest, I think Styen plays a good enough kicking game, but I can't think of another player good enough. 22. [B]Patrick Lambie/JP Pieterson[/B] - Either would be fine, though I'd probably go with Lambie, as he offers a contrast to the other three player in the back three. To be honest, I think the reason South Africa is losing, is because while their team has a lot of talent, their backs reall don't have much direction. Morne Steyn is a lot like Johnny Wilkinson, in the sence that he needs a really creative halfback like Matt Dawson/Fourie du Preez, in order to be effective. The backline looks ordinary and uncreative. Habana, Nokwe and Aplon all have speed to burn, but they need a play maker to be effective, and that's where the problem lies. [/QUOTE]
