[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 457838, member: 39190"] So freakin overjoyed John Smit etc are out. FFS, now that there is a clean slate I can't belief how overjoyed I am; guess I was consigned to havinghim, Spies, Habana and a few others around and was hoping for the best and was denying the rage I truely felt LOL. These guys have done a LOT for SA rugby but were around 2 years too long. I wouldn't pick a team now for 2015 but would like us to work with a mindset of winning our games with our best XV and slowly bringing in likely guys looking towards the RWC only later on. With that in mind and with current form in mind, I hope we see something like this 30 man squad for the tour at the end of the year; 1 Tendai Mtawarira 2 Bismarck du Plessis 3 Jannie du Plessis - though we need to find depth (and with some miles yet) at tighthead ASAP! 4 Juan Smith (c) 5 Andries Bekker 6 Heinrich Brussow 7 Schalk Burger - for this year still; has been in good form for the Bokke 8 Willem Alberts (still a pretty experienced pack actually) 9 Francois Hougaard 10 Johan Goosen - only truely new player I'd like to see. Morne Steyn is actually very young still but I hope he gets dropped; limited and horrific defense; a sure gain in momentum 11 Lionel Mapoe - a solid player and good finisher even though he is playing at center ATM 12 Frans Steyn 13 Juan de Jongh 14 Gio Aplon - for now but would like to see if Pietersen can get back to his best or someone like Sithole, Mvovo, Basson maybe if they can show what they have in S15 15 Patrick Lambie 16 ? 17 Adriaan Strauss 18 Gerhard Mostert 19 Duane Vermeulen 20 Dewald Duvenhage 21 Johan Goosen 22 Jaco Taute ? Deon Fourie Rynhardt Elstadt Jacques Potgieter Josh Strauss Ruan Pienaar Sias Ebersohn Jaque Fourie I'm having a hard time picking props.. hopefully the S15 throughs up a few names; Oosthuizen is immense in the loose but gets pinged waayy too much at the scrum. Greyling and Kruger are solid but thats about it and they aren't going to take us far considering their age. [/QUOTE]
