Apparently he's "resting" himself by playing a season in Japan before the RWC. Can only assume Rassie is on board with it. Either way, he won't be selected for any TRC games, I assume he might be available for EOYT, else only when he joins his new SA team. I think after 3 years at Toulon, the...

The Springbok squad for the Rugby Championship home leg against the Wallabies and All Blacks (in alphabetical order - name and surname, position, franchise/club, Test caps and points): Forwards (16): Schalk Brits (Hooker, Unattached), 11, 5 - 1t Pieter-Steph du Toit (Lock/ loose forward...

So now that he's gone who comes in? The only publicized applicant is Jimmy Stonehouse who currently coaches the Pumas, so I assume it'll probably be him. Not a bad choice considering what he's managed in the CC.

Our biggest selection problem has to be the loose trio, Siya, PSdT and Warren won't cut it. If we had Siya, Marco/Flouw and Vermeulen it's a different match imo. Otherwise, though not the prettiest bok team; we really do still have the personnel. Whether we have the patience or any real or...

A bit of a gamble, but I reckon if the boks finally start well and we play with some patience we can keep it close. Aus got very tired the last two tests and if we can get them as tired as the ABs did then the bench should be hugely impactful. Duane could not come sooner, glad Flouw is benched...

Stunning stuff from Arg

Rassie on DDA On Esterhuizen On Serfontein He also hinted that Pollard might shift to inside centre mid game, but no word on Willemse playing at 12

So for the first Arg game maybe: 1. Mtawarira 2. Marx 3. Malherbe 4. Etzebeth 5. Mostert 6. van Staden/Flouw 7. Kolisi (c) 8. Whiteley 9. de Klerk 10. Pollard 11. Dyanti 12. Esterhuizen 13. Am 14. Mapimpi 15. Willie le Roux Subs 16. Akker/Bongi 17. Kitshoff 18. TdT 19. Snyman/PSdT 20...

So do I, he's very much our staple 12. Just saying I hope after this RC his selection will be less of a foregone conclusion and we hopefully have a little bit more depth and competition at 12

No surprises. Very good to see Willemse and Brink in the squad, not too sure about Flouw tbh (say this every time) just don't think he's needed at this point except maybe that he brings a lot of experience to the forwards, can't deny his ability when he's on song though. Not very familiar with...

I had thought Mitchell very competent seeing him so much in the SS studio, but then I read that Garrin Lambley column on S24 a while back pointing out what terrible results the guy has gotten over the years. I think the Bulls could do better, after all, the guy seems more interested in blaming...

I see that he's been included in the squad heading to Christchurch, I hope that means it's not too bad and that he's ready for TRC at the very least, I think losing Nkosi was bad enough

He has A LOT to prove in Christchurch, I'm a bit surprised that Rassie appears to be backing him as second choice still, after his comments after third England test I was sure he would've at least had Rob Jr. or similar in the training camp. You're most welcome. I hope it doesn't disappoint, enjoy!

Crusaders pack is strong, Lions have a great pack but their defence is weak. Don't see it happening unless the Lions have been saving their best for this game and defend like Spartans. They won't be able to concede all day and scrum & maul their way to a victory this time. Crusaders by 17

You might enjoy last year's Newlands Boks vs All Blacks test, it's worth the watch

That pace was unbelievable, the step on Foley was absolute magic but the acceleration was the winner for me. Just amazing! What a try

Lions are so arrogant, Tahs are having a jol. Wait for the comeback tho.. Edit: Looove Foley's choice to go for the lineout 19 - 19, second half should be awesome Edit 2: Waratahs scrum is so **** even when Phipps is putting the ball in scew Edit 3: Lions deserved finalists, even over the...
