[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 868092, member: 39190"] There are a lot of options for a partner for Etzebeth. Du Toit has been balls in SR. Needs to pick it up. Mostert is going good and did well enough for the Bokke but for that try by Serin he let in. I actually thought De Jager showed again that even though he seems to go missing in SR he shines at test level in the Bok environment. I wouldn't know which way Coetzee is leaning but I'd be backing De Jager though I would expect I's be in the minority. Botha and Snyman in the running but I doubt they'll get in ahead of the other more settled options so I'm saying; [B]5 Mostert / Du Toit / De Jager[/B] Loose forward make-up will be interesting. Kwagga Smith is the current form SA loosie while Kriel has been that for the last three years. Chris Cloete has had an amazing year as well but should still be behind Smith and Kriel in the fetcher role especially since he is going to Munster while Kolisi had an amazing test series so he will be in it for sure which begs the question. Will we see Kolisi at 6 or 7. That will determine whether we see one of Smith or Kriel at 6 and Kolisi at 7 or Kolisi at open side and Du Preez at blindside. I think Whiteley will be fit. Think I remember reading that he is close to training if anyone can confirm? Vermeulen was in the mix but also injured vs France. I doubt Coetzee will drop Whiteley if fit. I'd put Whiteley as set in stone at 8 if fit. Surely, surely we won't see Mohoje.. but; [B]6/7 Kriel / Du Preez / Mohoje / Smith 8 Whiteley / Vermeulen 9 Cronje[/B] is probably nailed on as starting especially if Jantjies and Whiteey are both starting. [B]De Klerk / Hougaard[/B] [B]11/14 Rhule / Skosan / Combrinck / Lleyds / Mapimpi[/B] Personally I don't want to see Skosan and Rhule continue on. Combrinck and Lleyds offer so much more but are white or too close to white. If we are going for running only go for Mapimpi. We'll have to wait and see. [B]12 Janse van Rensburg 13 Kriel / Mapoe 12/13 Vorster [/B] Serfontein is a cert. Question is do we play either of Kriel, Mapoe or the in form Vorster outside him or move him up to 13 to facilitate RJvR or Vorster in their prefered positions? Is Frans Steyn in the mix?.. Damian de Allende has not had enough time or done enough in that time to warrant considertion IMO but who knows... [/QUOTE]
