Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer has stuck with his guns and pretty much as expected gone for continuity, in selecting the same team as last weekend accept for two changes to the starting fifteen and one on the bench.
The two changes made to the Starting 15 were pretty much as expected as earlier reports coming through from the Bok camp, that Gurthro Steenkamp was back to full fitness and Juan De Jong was a definite starter in the 13 jumper.
What is somewhat of a surprise is CJ replacing Pat Cilliers on the bench as Pat made an excellent impact when he took to the field last weekend in that dramatic turn around victory by the Springboks.
Springboks: 15 Zane Kirchner, 14 JP Pietersen, 13 Juan de Jongh, 12 Jean de Villiers (Captain), 11 Francois Hougaard, 10 Patrick Lambie, 9 Ruan Pienaar, 8 Duane Vermeulen, 7 Willem Alberts, 6 Francois Louw, 5 Juandré Kruger, 4 Eben Etzebeth, 3 Jannie du Plessis, 2 Adriaan Strauss, 1 Gurthrö Steenkamp
Replacements: 16 Schalk Brits, 17 Heinke van der Merwe, 18 CJ van der Linde, 19 Flip van der Merwe, 20 Marcell Coetzee, 21 Morné Steyn, 22 Jaco Taute, 23 Lwazi Mvovo.

Pooms???
Who was Russel Bennett’s father, played Jnr Bok and NECape center (against me of all people, a skinny 20 year old! The man was a giant…)?
@ Sharks_forever:@131 Sorry, ,5 again, you had his weight wrong!
Pooms name the WP/Lions player that played for Canada?
129 @ Pietman:
Correct Piet. Jeez we should go down memory lane and chat about that flour bomb tour of 81. We had a brilliant team tour NZ then. Thought we should have drawn the last test. No way was that a penalty in the end there.
@ Pietman:
Hey now weight was not a part of the question , 😆
136 @ Pietman:
Being harsh Piet 🙂 Ag, give him 5 then…… LOL. 🙂
@ Stormersboy:
Helloo Sboy!
Who played for the Boks out of Villagers’ 2nd team and never played for WP (1965 BI tour)?
Deon O Cuinneagan (spelleing) actually was an SA 7’s player.
Fast as lightning but not that strong, struggled to keep a place in the WP squad with the likes of Aitken, Brink (the original Tank) and Fritz Van Heerden…
137 @ Sharks_forever:

@ Sharks_forever:
@137 Christian Stewart(Dave’s nephew).
@ Pietman:
Jammer oom. Voor My tyd!
No clue!
Do you remember that Mark Russel guy?? Played flank for Wp for a couple of seasons, represented either Scotland or Wales i believe.
That shows you the lying sack of shit has been running in here everyday, He then tried to score brownie points with HG 😆 who of course dismissed him for the lowlife he is 😆
@ Pietman:
Correct, was a good center
@ Sharks_forever:
