@Bovidae said in AB squad for the Bledisloe Cup?:

I've always thought of Whitelock as an aerial lock. That is, excellent in the lineout and with kickoff receptions. But he has never been a ball-carrying lock who gets you consistent metres in the trenches. Even Aust gets more out of their locks in this area than the ABs do. I'd take a punt on Parkinson as he is the closest to that type of player.

that's what you need. A decade and a half ago the Boks had it absolutely sorted with Matfield and Botha. And nothing has changed since then.

If you get one that can do both you are in business.

Surely the back three has to be Clarke, Jordan, Jordie?

[Tim]

@Bones Depends on where Rieko plays.

Perfect bench player with Beauds.

@Bones Playing better than ALB or Goodhue.

Good point. We know how good they can be though so I'd like to see them given a chance for at least a couple of games. Roane can slot in at 13 if they fail. Just please don't waste him or Goodhue at 12!

depends who we are playing...a 'form' and rookie back 3 wont supplant all the incumbants.
