[QUOTE="unrated, post: 949894, member: 45773"] Maybe if the Irish used out of the box lineups or as you would call it "devalued" lineups to grow depth in a world cup year then you guys might have made it past a world cup quarter final. So Irish people are not really the best source for advice when it comes to pre world cup preparation tactics. Besides all the teams in the RC experiment to a degree in a world cup year, maybe its disrespectful to say that this team is disrespectful to the Aussies as it assumes these players are not of the standard required to play for the Springboks. Also the coaching staff cares deeply about winning the RC that's the main point in splitting the teams as it is seen as the current best strategy by Erasmus to defeat the All Blacks and Wallabies instead of just getting the one victory. So personally I absolutely love what has transpired with the two squads because that's basically the only reason we will get to see some of the Foreign based players that we would otherwise not have been able to see play, Francois Steyn being in the squad brings back all the nostalgia from the 2007 world cup win as the only surviving member of that squad.
