[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 585615, member: 39190"] Injured and out of consideration: Frans Steyn, Johan Goosen, Francois Hougaard, PS du Toit, JP Pietersen, Pierre Spies, Arno Botha, Schalk Burger, Andries Bekker, who did I miss? Some concerns: -only one tighthead in Jannie du Plessis and he has m=been massively overplayed these last three years! Coenie is a big question mark at tighthead IMO and should first really prove himself in that position in SR before being considered for the spot at test level. No denying he is a very strong fellow and exceptionally handy in the loose but can he make his bulk count in the scrum?? - we are thin in the outback department for me; Le Roux, YES!, Habana, yes but we cannot rely on him forever. Kirchner and Basson are only there to make up the numbers. On the positive side we have made big strides from last year IMO and if you consider the injured guys we have some depth but we are still looking for the players to successfully replace FdP (unless he can make a commitment to SA again and regain at least some of his form which he has from accounts) and Matfiled.
