[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 396227, member: 39190"] Yeah I agree with FlukeArtist. Their are players more off form than Smit. Smit is close enough to 2nd best hooker for me not too be upset at all. The question of him being picked ahead of Bismarck is a bit but having him in the squad is good. Others bother me more, particularly Spies and Kirschner. I am not sure about Frans Steyn; what from he is in or whether he will feature at all in any case. Last time I saw him in a Bok jersey he was dreadful; slow and disinterested. Matfield and Botha are off the pace as well and Botha only looks interested in trying to injure players weighing less than 90kg's and has totally forgotten how to play the ball and not the man. We have good cover for lock but don't expect the 'blood brothers' to get dropped. I am only hoping the occasion will jump start their interest in playing some actual rugby. Others off form are Habana and Morne Steyn. I'd still include Morne though as he is a player for big occasions and Fourie du Preez while not having gotten back to his best is still a player I'd bet on. Habana had a decent enough game last week but didn't get a chance to butcher an attack so its still a strecth IMO to pick him ahead of JPP, Ndungane bro's and Basson. [/QUOTE]
