It's too soon for Yaqeen...and MM... Argentina is no place to blood them.

I have to agree. Vusi is there because Rassie is short on black players.

The rest needs time and Rassie is building towards 2031. So some of them might be to early to go to the next world cup.

And let's not fall into that trap of chasing the next youngsters, they need to go prove themselves

KC

I qagree in a way wh ou but there ae dead meat in te Springbk set-up. Lets start with those at the defnite;s out of the squad and the lik some players,:-

Lersf ace it the cupboard is near to bare in mind, Some players are doubtful - opthers are cntantues::-

Certainties

Pollard, - Kolisi - Etzebeth - Esterhuizen - Kolisi the scrimummies ovr 30 years of age,

Posxibles

Snyman (Injury prone) De Allemde, Kroel and fringe playes like Van Staden

Another issue is that over 30 years of age suffer more frequently from injuries and take lnger to recover from such injuries.

I away slisten toErasmus' comments, aand he is very clear realceent ssuesm Erasmu will always keep som older playes in the squad - but mostly as mntors not as players and eve use en as benchplayersm

Mike do you really think Marco is a fringe player?

He plays almost every important game.
