[QUOTE="unrated, post: 914518, member: 45773"] I have been optimistic about Rassie and the Boks since he took over, there has been some moves that i was skeptical about but gave him the benefit of the doubt, but i must say that this selection is the one that i most disagree with. Obviously i hope we win but i dont see that happening, We cant rely on just cleaning out their fetchers as they have the uncanny ability to still steal the balls even if people arrive at the ruck almost immediately. We just had to steal our fair share of the ball. I think we will win the advantage line battle but that Aus will have the majority of possession and that we will have to make much more tackles than them. We needed to play our best team, Rassie said after the Argentina loss that they were planning some changes for Aus but that went out the window with their loss, but then he goes on and make mass changes anyway, so i guess he reconsidered. I can understand the need to build depth but at this point in time with our 7th world ranking i would favour just sneaking a win in Australia for the first time in years ( In an attempt to build a winning confident culture) over the need to build depth.
