[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 756285, member: 39190"] A long way to go still but is the upset on the cards? I'd be ecstatic if our neighbors managed their first ever RWC win. They got a lot of stick before the tournament with most saying they shouldn't be here but they've been part of the 'minnows' showing improvement. I just can't understand why their better players in the CC don't turn out for them. Probably the money is better playing for the Cheetahs, Sharks etc than for Namibia. The closest any of them are to making a Bok squad is Anton Bresler who though a very handy lock won't get a look in ahead of Etzebeth, De Jager, Du Toit, 4 Van der Merwes, Kruger, Matfield, Lewies, Mostert, Botha, Bekker and a whole host of other players. EDIT: I see all of Bothma, Van Jaarsveld and Kitshoff are there so though its not a full house I see some of the CC players have turned out for Namibia which is great! It'd be awesome to see one of Madagascar, Kenya or Zimbabwe get a look in as well in the future (maybe an expanded tournament?) but Namibia needs to stake a claim here! [/QUOTE]
