[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 1095153, member: 39190"] Willemse was better at 10 in the past but hasn't had an extended run at 10 in a good long time. I think he is most naturally suited to 12 but can cover 10 and 15 adequately. Close to our best team on paper but Kolisi, Pollard, Kolbe and PSdT will have to find form soon. Etzebeth had a poor game last hit out. His two soft back-to-back penalties brought Wales back into the game in my eyes and he didn't contribute massively apart from that. Vermeulen unavailable, carrying Kolisi as captain (possibly unfair as other top names are struggling for form as well..) and our thing with Marx like mentioned above put aside this is about as good as we can manage. Before this series I'd have said Gelant in at 15 and Willemse on the bench but TBF Gelant didn't take his chance last week. Kitshoff and Faf on the bench I can deal with ITO managing player workload and giving opportunity to players like Hendrickse. I really would like an actual openside in there though (Fourie was class the few minutes he had last week but I suppose he won't be a long term option so there is that) in the absence of Vermeulen or failing that Marx starting to help carry the load at breakdown.
