[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 661647, member: 39190"] So Matfield out and JdV likely out and suddenly we are very thin in the leadership department. BdP/Strauss or Louw the likeliest candidates. Juan Smith coming in might be a captaincy option but I don't think that is the plan. I expect he was called up as a direct replacement for Matfield as an experienced player and lock cover. I'd expect now: 1 Mtawarira/Steenkamp 2 Du Plessis 3 Malherbe 4 Etzebeth 5 Smith 6 Louw (c) 7 Alberts 8 Vermeulen 9 Hougaard 10 Steyn 11 Habana 12 Serfontein 13 De Allende 14 Hendricks 15 Le Roux 16 Strauss 17 Steenkamp/Nyakane 18 De Jager 19 Coetzee 20 Pienaar 21 Pollard 22 Lambie 23 Du Plessis/Nyakane I am not sure what the situation is with the ****les Beast and JdP are carrying? I wouldn't mind seeing Marcel van der Merwe (TH) and/or Thomas du Toit (LH) getting look ins. [/QUOTE]
