[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 692647, member: 39190"] So, who are we missing this weekend. There is Habana and JJP on the wings.. Bakkies Botha has retired in any case.. him and Schalk Burger weren't played against Italy precisely for us to see if we are alright without them and I dare say we are, especially with Carr doing for the Bokke what he has been doing for WP and be that missing link between forwards and backs for Reinach's try. Steenkamp will be unavaiable which isn't a problem as I think Nyakane and Beast are better in any case. Goosen unavailable means Willie will be back at 15. So it's only really jerseys 11, 14 and 23 that will see change from the weekend. I read a comment that Senatla has been released to the Blitzbokke so if that sees him out it'd put paid to my hopes of him and Hendricks being straight swaps for Habana and JPP with De Allende coming in on the bench. My hopeful matchday 23: 1 Beast 2 Bismarck 3 Oosthuizen (held up well enough and adds a good carrying option) 4 Etzebeth 5 Matfield 6 Coetzee 7 Mohoje 8 Vermeulen 9 Reinach 10 Pollard 11 Senatla/De Allende 12 De Villiers 13 Serfontein 14 Hendricks 15 Le Roux 16 Nyakane 17 Redelinghuys 18 Strauss 19 De Jager 20 Carr 21 Hougaard 22 Lambie 23 De Allende/Mvovo I can't help but feel we are fielding very much a B team pack. Hopefully the likes of PSdT, Alberts, A Botha, FLouw, Malherbe, MvdM all have get back to full fitness and form as I'd hate to go into a RWC play-off with this pack as is ATM. A better balanced midfield would also help but JdV is our captain or good I expect no matter what and we don't have a settled 13 and while Serfontein has filled in well he is a 12 first and foremost and at 13 he needs more of a play maker inside him.
