[QUOTE="George Ford, post: 818173, member: 74118"] So since DDA, Mvovo & Marx have been released for Currie Cup duty, the lottery on AC's starting XV & bench shapes up even more. I am actually quite perturbed at his player management right now and am seeing a bit of a bias here, even if he admitted to not getting emotional about players selections. In De Jongh & Mbonambi's case I can only assume he wants them to get as much game time. But if that's the case why include them at all in the Bok setup. Whereas seasoned out & more in-form players such as Rohan Janse van Rensburg & Marx actually had sufficient game time this year, he still chose the former 2 instead. Also - he defended his decision NOT to include Rohan by adding that DDA is the same player mold, but then ships him back to Currie Cup? I don't care that much about Mvovo, albeit I guess there is also a thought of their releases happening at the players' request or the province? Not for Marx I think not. Pretty clear JDJ is a shoe-in to wear 12 and funnily enough the only player in this regard who is assured his place in the backline. The rest of of them are probably all left wondering OR AC is going for continuity as he feels nothing wrong with the current players' combinations (Lord help the Boks). Probable Boks team v Aussies (for lottery purposes): 15. Goosen - Forgot he is the most consistent player for the Boks statistically in RC 14. Habana 13. Kriel 12. De Jongh 11. Hougaard 10. Lambie - was 1st choice and declared 100% fit. Also expected to cover centre if needed. 09. De Klerk - Form and temperament to change at home? 08. Whiteley 07. Mohoje 06. Louw 05. De Jager - Recovered from injury 04. Etzebeth 03. Redelinghuys - Recovered from injury 02. Strauss (c) 01. Mtawarira 16. Mbonambi 17. Kitshoff 18. Koch 19. PSDT - Covers loosie & lock 20. Mostert 21. Kriel 22. Steyn 23. Le Roux - Covers Wing & Fullback [/QUOTE]
