Go with the 10 Sacha 12 Willemse 13 Moodie combo and let them play and stick with this combo - with Libbok, Hooker and JJ as the back ups

Let’s move on from the been there done it now past it centre pairing of DA/AE and Kriel/Am

Sadly Dave, chances are very good that DDA and Kriel will take us to WC2027. Unless the wheels come off bigtime between then and now.

So true - if we lose this series it might be the wake up call Rassie needs

Our side is just too old and will be a year older come the WC

Some of the older players are indispensable but others are not like de Allende, Kriel, Esterhuizen, Reinach, Deon Fourie, Mostert, Lood and v Staaden

We have moved on from Willie, Mapimpi, Am, Faf, Malherbe, Koch, Kleyn and Bongi - the same needs to apply to the list above

Yes Saffex, I'd take that combination in a heartbeat although we may need DW at #15 if Fassi doesn't find his best form. In that case I'd go with AE or maybe Hooker at #12.

Yeah agreed Fassi needs to find his mojo, there were some signs against the Argies

I’d be happy to see Hooker at 12, it’s long over due or we could play Manie at 10 with Sacha at 15 as a short term solution
