Yea I kinda Understand the Welsh sentiment but all the Saffas know this is a really good squad and the same squad with form players that everyone was calling for, it's like he listened to the fans and just chose a team that most fans would not even dream. I for one think they are going to be good and potentially better than last weekend's team with a much bigger emphasis on speeding up the game and playing some running rugby. Regardless of out opposition this was exactly what competition in the squad needed. Doing it in the middle of the series and not when its already wrapped up will raise the bar for this alternate team and I think they can step it up.
Fassi, Gelant and Arendse will be very dangerous on the Wings and Fullback. I probably think they are more on form than Mapimpi and Kolbe. Both are notoriously difficult to tackle. They will slot into the rest of the backline to support attacking plays.
Esterhuizen and Kriel are both peak physical backs. On form, they should complement each other, rotating carrying duties and providing crash ball for midfield.
Jaden Hendrikse will speed up the game but he is developing nicely into a Faf mould player, he likes to box kick.
The loose trio is the best one we can pick IMO, Kolisi out the match day 23 is a blessing in disguise.
Marvin Orie is probably a weak spot for the team, maybe to a hint also Dweba. I would have played Nortje instead of Orie.
Wales must wait till after the game before they start claiming disrespect. Their former players in the media are disrespecting the players picked for this game, which is a very special time for them and their families.
