    Hahahaha. Did those mad bastards really put out a team with 4 ruck rats and no 1st five?

    @Smuts you will be playing your own dual pivot. Let’s see how your version fares.

      @Smuts really good strength in depth and giving time to AE and CM to forge a midfield partnership in case of injuries.

      Forget that Mapimpi is still about. Really good test match player.

      Hopefully Reinach has a good game to put some pressure on Faf.

      You’ve got a front 4 and a back 4 playing up front. Should be more than enough to provide a platform for what looks like an electric back line.

      Yeah, pretty good team. As @SidBarret said above, there were always going to be some stretch selections in this game.

      Just a delicate shouldered nudge to the punditry’s blather about selecting four scrummies in the squad.

        And forget about the bench split (surely Rasnaber should have gone 8-0 just as a big FU), has a team ever named 4 scrum halves in a match day 23 before?

          Hearing Marx pulled up injured today at training. Gone off for scans (never sounds good). Any Bok fans with any insight?

                Esterhuizen gave Jordie a tough time last up.

                Any chance he’ll sneak into the top team ahead of De Allende ?

                      Tweet above says:

                      “Unconfirmed but strong rumour is that Malcolm Marx’s #RWC2023 is over.

                      The Springboks hooker has reportedly torn his ACL. 🤕 #RSA”

                                Bummer for Malcolm.

                                But every team has to deal with injuries.

                                  How many hookers they got in the squad?

                                  Is there the opening for Pollard yet?

                                  Edit: probably not. Still got to have 3 x No.2s

                                        Pftttt. I’m sure there’s not much sympathy on SA message boards about Jordie, Shannon, Sam and Tyrell.
