Post RWC player movements; how might it effect the line-ups of S15 teams for 2012?

Urgh, I can't believe we (WP Stormers) managed to let Callie Visagie (not Cassie BTW) get away. A very talented young hooker and a proper one at that unlike Deon Fourie and Tiaan Liebenberg who's lack of grunt means we get found out in big games with our 'tight' five not pitching up and standing in the centers. We can do with the plethora of backs moving off but losing some of our better front rowers (even if they are still young) will mean more heartbreak for us WP/Stormers supporters in play-off matches. Visagie was captain of the very successful Maties in the varsity cup.

Any word on SBW at this time?

I just keep marvelling at the Cheetahs; they won't push for the ***le but every year they lose a ton of players and for the most part some of their best players and every year they manage to find promissing replacements. Losing Sarel Pretorius and JLP/Bosman and then through the CC they unearth Piet van Zyl (not the thug that ran onto the field and tackled the ref LOL) and Johan Goosen..

Quality backline though they could struggle with depth at center if injury strikes again and a very good pack though they lack quality locks. Pity Wilhelm Steenkamp decided to move to the Bulls; he added so much to the Cheetahs. IMO they should move Juan Smith to lock to compensate as they have a plethora of quality loosies.

1 Coenie Oosthuizen
2 Adriaan Strauss
3 WP Nel
4 Francois Uys
5 Juan Smith (c) Yster, just hoping him and Brussow can keep away from injury for a change
6 Heinrich Brussow
7 Ashley Johnson loves having the ball in hand and some good offloads but needs to work on the defense still
8 Boom Prinsloo / Lappies Labuschagne
9 Piet van Zyl
10 Johan Goosen Springbok 10 against England next year? lets see him at S15 but hell, he had a GREAT CC
11 Rayno Benjamin
12 Adriaan Strauss solid player but pity about Corne Uys leaving
13 Robert Ebersohn strating to mature as a player but just a CC/S15 player IMO
14 Philip Snyman
15 Hennie Daniller also looking more settled but just a CC/S15 player IMO

Wingers are good enough finishers and look to get involved. Cheetahs' main problems are defense and a lack of quality depth in most positions (all except loose forwad actually while Sias Eberson is the only real quality back-up in the backlin covering 10 and 15)
