[QUOTE="George Ford, post: 810513, member: 74118"] I am even skeptical at the inclusion of both Goosen & Steyn, but they fill the void of flyhalf/fullback and reputable kickers, even if Goosen played centre mostly for his club. After Elton quite evidently cracked under the conditions last Saturday, an SOS call-up to Steyn is understandably warranted. Agreed - Although De Jong's showings has never been off form or poor, his inclusion can only be attributed to his commitment & work rate on the field. However Rohan Janse van Rensburg will definitely feel gutted. Mvovo > Skosan: same players in that they are merely just finishers, Lwazi with the added international experience. However, as I've said in previous comments they both lack in other attributes you seek in a formidable back 3 players combination; the player mold you find in JP Pietersen, but he has made himself unavailable. So Habana's inclusion is also warranted as we are now completely stripped off experience at the back. Kriel & Goosen will fight for that 15 jersey. Teboho Mohoje is being rewarded with a call-up for his service in the SA Ä side, but I never really rated him. Besides, I don't think he would've gotten the call if Kolisi or Marcel Coetzee were not injured. Francois Hougaard - no reputable 9s with international experience; Cobus Reinach injury. He can cover wing and has been in great form at the 7s. Fairly happy with the squad selection otherwise. [/QUOTE]
