[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 415946, member: 39190"] Well, Griquas should be competitive (even without Pretorius) and while the Pumas and Leopards will probably claim a scalp or two it's probably still between the 'big' five. Bulls, Stormers and Sharks undoubtably the best but will also lose the most senior personel to the Springboks so it's balanced on a knife edge if you ask me. Likely team line-ups and how I rate them; 1 WP 1 Blaauw 2 Liebenberg 3 Harris 4 Elstadt 5 Fondse 6 Kolisi 7 Koster 8 Vermeulen 9 Duvenhage 10 Grant 11 Poolman 12 Bosch 13 Sadie 14 Engelbrecht 15 Jantjes 2 Kwazulu Natal 1 Van Staden 2 Burden 3 Herbst 4 Hargreaves 5 Skeate 6 Botes 7 Deysel 8 Kankow 9 McCleod 10 Potgieter 11 Mvovo 12 Bosman 13 Terblanche 14 Ndungane 15 Ludik 3 Gauteng 1 Van Rensburg 2 Maku 3 Cilliers 4 Van Heerden 5 Van der Merwe 6 Minie 7 Rhodes 8 Strauss 9 Vermaak 10 Jantjies 11 Mapoe 12 La Grange 13 Murray 14 Van Rensburg 15 Taute 4 Free State 1 Oosthuizen 2 Strauss 3 Nel 4 Uys 5 Steenkamp 6 Myburgh 7 Johnson 8 Floors 9 Carse/De Bruyn 10 Ebersohn 11 Benjamin 12 Uys/Strauss 13 Ebersohn 14 Snyman 15 Daniller 5 Noord Transvaal 1 Greyling 2 Botha 3 De Klerk 4 Kruger 5 Mabeta 6 Kuun 7 Stegmann 8 Potgieter 9 Snyman 10 Brummer 11 Basson 12 Olivier 13 Pretorius 14 Van den Heever 15 Kirschner 1 to 5 very even actually. That's assuming the players the coaches prefer stay along the same lines as they did in the Super 15 without players possibly still leaving or youngsters getting a go IE without the unforseens. Personally, I'd love to see Eben Etzebeth get a call up to either the number 5 or 7 jersey. Though a loose forward combo of Vermeulen, Koster and Etzebeth wouldn't be very balanced. [/QUOTE]
