[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 918719, member: 72205"] Yrah I'm surprised anyone would question these two. Most of Underhill's injuries are possibly because he almost destroys the opposing player in ever tackle. I'd be very surprised if we chuck any rookies into a starting 15 against SA. This is pretty much a must win game and any first caps for starting are likely to given out against Japan. With NZ next week we need people with international experience. We are a year from a world cup the time for chopping and changing is over and most changes should be injury enforced. Unless there is an outright bolter this season. Otherwise you're looking at another Burgess situation where the player is simply not experienced enough. Also disappointed Cips has been dropped and I'll shocked if we don't go back to Ford/Farrell. I was against Cips being selected in the summer for this entirely reason, why did we do that only to resort back to where were before. We learnt nothing from that other than we can rely on Cips in a pinch, wasted game even though we won. Pivotal we get a close game here and V NZ to keep world cup hopes a live. Anything less or a superficial close game (ie late score for us in an already lost game). I think we'll be pondering how it all went wrong after such a promising start for EJ. [/QUOTE]
