[QUOTE="TRF_Ezequiel, post: 379465, member: 42683"] When you look at the 2007 squad that won the World Cup you cannot just use the same players. Montgomery and du Randt retired, Spies (who missed the RWC due to injury), Habana, de Villiers, James, Bakkies Botha, Burger and Smit are not the players anymore they used to be and have been surpassed by better players in the likes of Mvovo, Bekker, Alberts, Bismarck du Plessis, de Jongh and some amazing talented players who, after their club-performances, deserve a chance in the likes of Patrick Lambie, Keegan Daniel, Ryan Kankowski, Vermeulen, Brussow, van den Heever, Hougaard and Flip van der Merwe. The biggest issue though, is fullback. Who do we put there? Kirchner is not good enough, Aplon is a winger, Lambie and Pienaar are better in different positions but can play there, just like Francois Steyn but I would like to see Ludik and Jantjes (not Jantjies) for that position and include Gary Botha as a backup-hooker. From the Stormers I would give Liebenberg a chance but he won't be playing for a while. [/QUOTE]
