[QUOTE="GimleyUK, post: 255961"] I tried to prioritized skill over bulk, i think we are more likely to win by using intelligent rugby than having a crash ball contest. The Reason the previous poster made that comment is that South Africa are notorious for their love of the Scrum. And Brutish forward play. To take such a few front row forwards would mean that they would have to play too many games before the tests and may be tired before the First Test. Taking too many players in a squad can have detrimental effects too. As players feel unwanted if they are not in contention and can cause big issues for the Squad that thy feel are jettisoning them. A rough guess would be that the squad would be roughly around 36. Two touring teams of 15 plus a few extras who are n contention for selection. [/QUOTE]
