@ grootblousmile:
Net lood en dalk venter
Well, well, well…
Really hope some of the Lions stars make it into the Springboks!
Malcolm Marx, Jaco Kriel, Warren Whiteley, Faf de Klerk, Rohan janse van Rensburg, Lionel Mapoe…
Pity Elton Jantjies is injured…
From the Bulls, I do not see many Bok prospects… maybe Trevor Nyakane, Adriaan Strauss & RG Snyman… and that is about it…
91 @ smallies:
Lood dalk… maar Francois Venter… neewat.
@ grootblousmile:
Mind you peterson kan dalk n dark horse wees
There will be plenty Stormers in the Bokke…
Scarra Ntubeni, Frans Malherbe, Eben Etzebeth, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Nizaam Carr, Siya Kolisi, Notshe, Damian de Allende, Juan de Jongh??, Kolbe??
Sharks…
Beast, maybe 1 of the du Preez Twins, Lambie, Willie le Roux, maybe Mvovo…
Cheetahs…
Lood de Jager, Sergeal Petersen… maybe Oupa Mohoje (would be a travesty).
Kings…
Nobody except maybe Edgar Marutlulle…
Hopefully we do not see many overseas Bokke…

Unlucky players… although maybe included in the Springbok A squad…

Is Mbonambi better than Malcolm Marx?
FFS…….
Acker vd Merwe is better than Mbonambi in my humble opinion.
Groom better than Ross Cronje?????
Sick of the SA Rugby nonsense.
Have a great Sunday guys.
Congratulations to ALL of the Springboks.
Even those who don’t really deserve to be there.
Bulls 20 – Lions 56 !!
This would have been considered impossible when I started to follow Saffa rugby!! 😉
@ grootblousmile: At least the majority of the players come from the top performing franchises. However, there is definitely a Stormers flavor to the team. All 3 overseas based players are former Stormers players. But that bias is to be expected, seeing as Toetie was the Stormers coach this time last year.
