[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 610679, member: 40658"] Well, As usual I think our squads will be announced in January. Our teams seem to use the November/December period on conditioning (which I don't have a problem with) and then start with the squad and gameplan in January/February. There is method in the madness as you can't really do your gameplan properly without trying it out against opposition, and that's where the warm-up games are so important. I also think it's a bit premature to pick a squad now. If WP for instance had to pick a team now, would Etzebeth make the cut? his injury has been confirmed to keep him out of action for nearly 6 months. so he's basically out of contention for the normal season. But if he gets some recovery time now, and go for a check-up in January/February possibility are there that he might get an earlier start than was expected. A lot of Springboks use this time to go for operations or fisio treatments on ****les. So I like the current system we employ. We also have to give some of the guys a rest. Just look at what a bit of rest did to Fourie Du Preez and Morne Steyn's performance. [/QUOTE]
