Monday Morning Team

Vusi to start surrounded by experience. Hope he goes well. Also hope Jasper stays on the field long enough to play with his boetie, first time they'll start a game together. Could've happened against Italy but for a silly "head butt". Big day for the Wiese family.

Still with Reinach. Will be interesting to watch Jaco Williams, he's a bemusing selection to me as I didn't see anything special about him in the URC apart from scoring a try between Gelant's legs. I hoped Quan would get a start in this game, instead it's Fassi again. Good rotation I guess, just PSDT and Divvy not getting a break.

@Pakie I think PSDT is nearing his 100 caps and I think Rassie wants to make sure he gets it in Cape Town against the AB's in the 2nd test. Same with De Allende. I think after this weeknd we dont see him again until the 2nd test. PSDT need to play against Argentina and the 1st AB test to get his 100 in the 2nd. I think Divvy has been rewarded for some great showings but after this I don't know that we'll see him for the Greatest Rivalry Tour. Siya will play those. likely Eben as well.

As for Jaco... I agree. Don't see what he could add. might be a case of resting the big guns for the AB's now. I do think were in a sticky situation come wingers and their throwing all sorts of players out there to see what sticks. Arendse looks like he's lost a step. Kolbe while still the goat has never really had elite top speed and is getting on now. I thought Jooste would slot in easily enough but he looked sluggish last night against the poms. Fassi looks like he needs a detox and lie down. Rassie will give him another opportunity come Saturday but I think the writings on the wall...for this season at least. He's struggling to come back from ankle and then shoulder surgery.

A bit odd indeed... Rassie is seeing something we don't...

What makes you think BJD is not Bok Material Shark?

I have never seen him play well for the Boks.
