The two that confuse me are Kwagga Smith and Coenie Oosthuizen. Its not as if we don't have depth in those positions. Take Marcel Coetzee for instance. Would be a starter at test level for most nations but doesn't make SA 'A' even? Behind Kwagga? Yeah, nah.
I assume Warrick Gelant is injured. Pity. He was THE form player and a shining light for the Stormers prior to injury. I was hoping for him to take over from Le Roux and steady the ship with Fassi coming through and putting pressure on the #15 jersey.
Other than that I think we are missing an out and out 12 but that about my only gripes which are few enough everything considered. What might the two representative teams look like though?
BOKKE
Kitshoff, Mbonambi, Malherbe (Du Toit, Marx, Nyakane), Etzebeth, De Jager (Snyman), Kolisi, Du Toit, Vermeulen? (out of contention?) (Van Staaden)
De Klerk, Pollard (Jantjies, Steyn), De Allende, Am (Steyn), Mapimpi, Kolbe, Le Roux
SA 'A'
Nche, Dweba, Koch (Nyakane, Ntubeni, Oosthuizen), Du Preez, Mostert (Orie), Smith, Elstadt, Du Preez (Wiese)
Reinach, Jantjies (Nohamba, Willemse), Simelane, Kriel (here we needed another #12 I believe unless Frans Steyn is in line for SA 'A' rather than the Bok #23 jersey), Penxe, Nkosi, Fassi
Rosco Specman the only man without a cap in my 2 teams. Think we could've had a better SA 'A' but maybe some of the front lines (or at least a pereneal Bok bencher) are going to do double duty?
