Hello my vrind SuperBlom!
Another Lions penalty and the Force cop a Yellow for Stubbs
Vyf nuwelinge, twee in die beginspan, is in die Springbokke se 23-tal vir die toets teen Italië Saterdag op Kingspark in Durban.
Willie le Roux is as heelagter ingesluit, terwyl Jano Vermaak die nuwe skrumskakel is.
Die ander nuwelinge op die plaasvervangersbank is die loskopstut van die Cheetahs, Trevor Nyakane, die losvoorspeler van die Bulle, Arno Botha, en die senter Jan Serfontein.
Tien spelers wat deel was van die Bokke se laaste toets teen Engeland op Twickenham is gekies.
Die kaptein en senter, Jean de Villiers, is ook fiks verklaar en sal die span op die veld lei.
“Ek is baie bly dat ek die kern van verlede jaar se span kon behou. Dit sal help met die kontinuïteit, terwyl dit ook goed is om ‘n klomp jong spelers te sien wat deurgekom het van Super-rugby,” het Heyneke Meyer, die Bok-breier, gesê.
