[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 610540, member: 39190"] Yeah, I wouldn't worry about the pack. Flip, Botha, Stegmann and Spies will add a lot in that department. Spies if only for his leadership and work at the line-out. I don't see him as a threat with ball in hand. Your backs are young but competent and dangerous on the attack. IF they can tighten up on defence you'll go far. A lot depends on how you go about playing though. I think you'll have to change the way you play to suit the players. Hougaard and Piet van Zyl are guys that shine when they are allowed to take on the fringes of the rucks. Pollard has the ability to take on the line and has a very good flat pass. If you are going to ask these guys to stand deep though and rely on kicking... well, they simply aren't naturals in that department and it might be ugly seeing opposition run back bad kicks especially against the still suspect defence.
