It is again time for all our esteemed rugby gurus and knowledgeable bloggers to pick the South African players who performed best over this weekend. Teams might differ a lot from the previous week, because we want these weeks’ best performers.
Selectors nominate the players , only 1 player per position, yes you must make up your mind. If you nominate 2 your picks will be discarded.
Try and make sure you pick a player in his regular playing position. (i know it will be difficult with coaches DM and JP)
Make picks before Monday 16h30.
RT will do the calculation and publish our team.
Bloggers not part of the R-T selection panel is requested to submit their teams too. We will compare ours with the Team of the week picked by the Guru,s (read selectors).Lets make this a fun filled selection game.
Please use this format to post your teams, it makes it easier to copy and paste

Ongelukkiges is Joe Peterson, Francois Louw en Brok Haris
15 – Joe Petersen – Fast becoming my Bokke incumbant
14 – Gerhard van den Heever
13 – Jaque Fourie
12 – Wynand Olivier
11 – Bryan Habana
10 – Morné Steyn – 35 points including 2 tries
9 – Fourie du Preez, with Ricky Januarie hot on his heels
8 – Pierre Spies
7 – Juan Smith, with Francois Louw hot on his heels
6 – Deon Stegmann or Heinrich Brussow
5 – Victor Matfield, with Andri Bekker deserving special mention
4 – Flip van der Merwe – Worked really hard and always went forward
3 – WP Nel
2 – Tiaan Liebenberg, with Gary Botha hot on his heels
1 – Gurthro Steenkamp
No Lions selected because defence was not up to scratch. Sharks disapointed, Cheetahs worked bloody hard… so it’s natural that most players would come from Bulls and Stormers.
Remember, this is for the performance of this weekend alone, no other matches included!
15 – Riaan Viljoen Best try of the weekend also two long
range kicks was simply superb. Won it for the for the
Cheetahs. Was simply superb.
14 – Gerhard Van den Heever
13 – Jaque Fourie
12 – Wynand Olivier
11 – Bryan Habana
10 – Morne Steyn
9 – Fourie du Preez
8 – Ryan Kankowski. Was back to his brilliant best.
7 – Juan Smith
6 – Deon Stegmann
5 – Victor Matfield
4 – Flip Van Der Merwe
3 – WP Nel
2 – John Smit. Still the best hooker and best scrummaging
hooker. Sharks Should have left him there.
1 – Gurthro Steenkamp.
Totally off subject, go and watch Ski Cross on the winter Olympics….What a great sport.
Brand new to the Olympics…I wanna do it….. *)

1. Guthro Steenkamp
Almal gaan se WAT? BROK HARRIS???????
Hy het geskrum teen Ben Robinson wat laasjaar die hele wereld stukkend geskrum het, gee die man krediet.
Matfield het soos sy agterend verdedig en niks in die vastelos gedoen nie.
Lionel Mapoe het getackle, gesidestep en absoluut niks verkeerd gedoen nie, ek is baie beindruk…ek sou hom op senter los, ek dink hy het ‘n toekoms.

No ash there is many sites picking that sort of team, Australian and NZ sites also pick teams like this one. This is SA players. There is also a springbok barometer in SA. Lets try this one as it is. Thanks

carol @ 17
uhm
nooooooooo? 😀
carol @ 17
oh yes, now i get it (light bulb thingy)
welsch players are k*k ….
so when our k*k players go there, they build up so much confidence from playing against k*kker players
that they come back playing sooooooooo much better rugby!! 😯
Morne you bloody @sshole how could you say joubert had a better game than ricky. Why is there no mention made of aplon. Everyone said we had midgets in the backline, how that midgets is proving them wrong in defence.
wezwp @ 21
a good morning to you wez
and
how are you this morning?
Moet sê, die Aussies is die vinnigste van almal om hul ‘gameplan’ aan te pas om die Super 14 kampioene te klop. Nadat hul gunstelingspan sleg pak gekry het op Loftus, besef hulle daar is net een ‘gameplan’ wat gaan werk:
“If you can’t beat them, cite them!”
😉
21: jp speel skrummie, ricky speel stut, hoe kan jy die twee wil vergelyk ?
#21,
Ricky was good, I thought Joubert was better.
Aplon was good, Mjekevu was better.
Same for most players I thought was very good, but not better than my first choices as listed.
Morning all
Hope you had a fab weekend…

Bulle het my baie impress die naweek.( was swak in die 1ste helfte )
Stormers het baie goed gespeel.
Sharks was terrible en gaan ‘n baie moeilike toer he, en het my superbru opgef@k.
Cheetahs het “guts” getoon en lyk of hulle dalk net die trappie kan maak die jaar.
Leeus, was ‘n snaakse game en hoe vinniger Dick op ‘n span besluit hoe beter vir die unie.
