Well, because a whole host of starters are out of consideration, we are effectively going to have a B team compete. By the word 'compete' I mean lose within 60 points....
The following players are out of the away leg of the Tri Nations:

<meta charset="utf-8">Duane Vermeulen (knee), Fourie du Preez (knee), Schalk Burger (thumb), Victor Matfield (calf and neck), Frans Steyn (ankle and back), Jaque Fourie (groin), Jean de Villiers (groin), BJ Botha (knee), Juan Smith (Achilles), Willem Alberts (shoulder), Bismarck du Plessis (shoulder), Andries Bekker (shoulder, groin and ankle), Jannie du Plessis (knee), Francois Louw (clavicle), Gurthrö Steenkamp (forearm), Francois Hougaard (ankle), Butch James (knee), JP Pietersen (back), Tendai Mtawarira (hamstring), Bryan Habana (shoulder), Bakkies Botha (knee).
So, with that in mind, this is my starting XV:
1. Coenie Oosthuizen (Cheetahs)
2. John Smit (If only it coulb be Schalk Brits... even Chilli-boy I would pick. But alas, Smit is the captain)
3. Dean Greyling (Bulls)
4. Flip vd Merwe (Bulls)
5. Alistair Hargreaves (Sharks.... Eeeeeeeeewwwwwwww)
6. Heinrich Brussouw (Cheetahs - He should be fit by then)
7. Ashley Johnson (Cheetahs)
8. Pierre Spies (Bulls)
9. Charl McLoed (Sharks - Sarel Pretorius is far better, but wasn't called up)
10. Morne Steyn (Bulls)
11. Lwazi Mvovo (Sharks)
12. Wynand Olivier (Bulls)
13. Juan de Jongh (Stormers)
14. Bjorn Basson (Bulls)
15. Patrick Lambie (Sharks)
