[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 812233, member: 40658"] Oupa wasn't a regular for the Cheetahs because he was injured for the most part of the tournament, plus Oupa is a Blindside flanker, whereas Jaco is an openside flanker (in my view). If it was up to me, I'd pick Jannes Kirsten ahead of Mohoje, for the blindside flank position. Jaco unfortunately has to compete with Francois Louw, but Jaco will get his chance. Well, Habana is still world class, so why not pick him? Age is not a hurdle for a player of Habana's caliber. As for other wingers, we have a lot of wingers that can replace him: Seabelo Senatla (unfortunately injured his wrist at the Rio Olympics) Lwazi Mvovo (Was Habana's stand-in replacement during the Irish series) Raymond Rhule (Cheetahs winger, just not that good on defence as Habana) Sergeal Pietersen (Cheetahs winger, but has a lot of injury problems) Jamba Ulengo (Bulls winger, still very young, good prospect for the future) Travis Ismaiel (Bulls Winger, injury problems) Cheslin Kolbe (Was also at Rio, maybe a future selection) Courtnall Skosan (Lions winger, also a bit of a problem on defence) Then we also have JP Pietersen and Ruan Combrink with JP bieng given a rest and Combrink in the squad, who will in all likelihood play on the other wing. I see Lwazi Mvovo and Sikhumbuzo Notshe has been sent back to their local unions to play Currie Cup. Seems like AC is looking at only guys who are on form. [/QUOTE]
