[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 852740, member: 40658"] I think most of us do... I hear you, but I'm thinking that Duane might be used as a 7 along with Whiteley and Kriel. With Mohoje or Kolisi on the bench covering. Well, Let's look at the Hookers. Marx should be first choice, no argument here, but he's still terribly shaky at the lineouts. Chilliboy on the other hand has been great at the lineouts as well handling the ball in the mauls. Bongi, probably just a seat-filler again. As for the locks, I think if Snyman didn't get cited, he would have been an obvious pick for AC. So I think Lood is a lucky selection here. Hougie has been playing really well for Worcester though. But Paige is a bit of a bad call, I'd rather gone for Schreuder. Well Pollard did mention in a post a couple of days ago that he might be ready to play against France. So I'm thinking that AC took the chance of not picking another fly half, with the idead that Pollard might recover in time? Well, RjvR is injured, and was also held hostage in his home, so I'm wondering if he's mentally up for the task. Vorster is in the "A" squad though. But don't be so hard on Serfontein, he had a torrid time with injuries, and since his return, he has been showing glimpses of what he can do, at both 12 and 13. I would love to see him combine with Steyn with Steyn at 12 and Serfontein at 13. As for the Wings, Rhule, Leyds, Combrink, Skosan, Ulengo, Mapimpi, Mvovo... All of them have been great. If I had to pick 3 it would be Skosan, Combrink and Leyds. Actually Leyds is probably our 3rd pick for fly half isn't he? And if we have Steyn and Coetzee there, we have cover to kick at goal. The other thing is that a lot can happen still. Injuries in this final Super Rugby weekend before the series starts, could have a major impact so, we'll have to wait and see. [/QUOTE]
