[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 1134707, member: 39190"] I don't have any massive gripes with that SA selection but feel a few of those players will have to step it up in order to retain their spots in the "A" team: Mbonambi (Had a poorish game in relation to his usual standards- probably always should be Marx) Think the idea was always to rotate the loosies and give everyone some time to get up to speed heading into the RWC but wholesale? Fair enough I suppose. Mapimpi needs a big game to keep Arendse away from the 11 jersey IMO. Esterhuizen also finally gave reward for his continued Bok selection. I feel him, Van Staaden, Kleyn and Libbok could perhaps do with more game time but there it is its probably fair enough to stick to your initial plan of rotation regardless of individual performances. Little point in getting Kleyn further up to speed if he is only your 5th/6th choice lock. Happy for Reinach to fall out though. I felt he was the poorest starting Bok last week. It helps that our only real injury is essentially Kolisi. In Pollard we know what he have as well so more value in giving the rest a go. Nche and the rest aren't starters. My prediction: a see-saw game with a last minute Grant Williams breakaway try to seal a narrow W for the Bokke. [/QUOTE]
