[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 980316, member: 39190"] Haha. I had the same thought but TBH I don't like the idea of almost 'spite-capping' youngsters. I'd prefer an honest 'we are interested in you long term cap' from SARU just as I want players in the u20 team not to use it as a platform for exposure and then pushing off to other nations. It should be honest from them as well and if they represent SA at u20 it should be because they are interested in representing us at senior level. That said I do believe we will see a few new faces depending on injury and how these players go in SR. So I am expecting a few new faces at position we need to develop depth. At 8 I see us going with either of Jaco Coetzee or Cobus Wiese. Maybe Marco van Staden at 8 or Kolisi moving to 8 to accommodate Van Staden at 6. At 10 and 15 I expect to start seeing the likes of Damian Willemse and Warrick Gelant getting more opportunity. Maybe Joseph Dweba at 2 or a new face at lock if we are looking to keep it local for the inbound tests. [/QUOTE]
