[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 667045, member: 39190"] If BdP can come good then great. I agree totally on Nyakane and MvdM; surely they are at least on par in the scrum but we know for a fact that these guys bring a lot in open play at least. Worth giving them a chance IMO even if there are others I'd have prefered but who aren't even in the sqaud. Not a bad pack. Brussow I believe is playing in Japan ATM. Not rated by HM but is his dynamic self despite still in the habit of not giving enough 'day light'- I mean, I believe he does it, just so quick that refs go at him. I think fans just simply don't mention him because like Mujati at TH it seems that is simply not going to happen so little point in mentioning it. I like the idea of bringing in Mujati but can't see it happening TBH; just too much baggage there between him and SARU. Alberts is only just now back from injury and wasn't in super form before injury while Louw and Coetzee has been two of the few Bokke performing consistently so I wouldn't drop them. Frans Steyn is in the Brussow/Mujati boat sadly. A 38 year old that has been playing some good rugby, not the type that made him a legend true enough but the reality is we are facing something of an injury crisis; Franco van der Merwe, PSdT, Flip van der Merwe all injured and Etzebeth barely back from super long injury lay-off. Those 4 are the guys we put our faith in post PdV and they are unavaiable to something has got to give somewhere. De Jager has been a mixed bag. Lewies next in line but we might as well get in Matfield TBH. I mean, don't tell me NZ wouldn't be looking at Ali Williams as an option if all of Whitelock, Retallic, Bird and Romano were injury concerns.. [/QUOTE]
