I don't want make a prediction but rather cast a wish into the ether...

Please can our starting front row play a blinder. I rate all three of them so damn highly and if they can all have a good game I shall be a very happy boy on Sunday.

I do think Grobbies has been a bit unlucky. He's far better than some of his Bok outings suggest. Wessels is a monster and I hope he expresses himself like he did for the Bulls last season. And Porthen is the type is specimen that could change the requirements for that position if he manages to do what I hope he can.

You guys see that Roos has been shifted to 6 for the Stormers? Dayimani starting at 8...

Perhaps the penny has finally dropped there in Kaapstad.

Boks by 20,

Depends how these players come together, they have been in camp now for 3 months and all of them has had game time. Except for Mostert that got crocked during the BaaBaa game.

I have my doubts on some.

Plum, I hear you, I think these props are being primed for the next evolution of rugby where the scrum will only become a reset like in rugby league and touchapalosa rugby like world rugby wants.

I think both props can have a blinder and should suite Rassies around the corner approach. Now give it to a prop with speed, a step and hands and we are away to the races.

I'm happy with AE and Moodie, Moodie being injured and had a form dip. So bit worried about him.

I have now decided that I'm not a fan of Fassi, very talented and I had high hopes for him but he has just been plain awful the past two seasons, doesn't want to tackle and deliberately keeps him outside of the position when sweeping at the back, to avoid any tackler effort. Still good under the high ball but looks like he has lost pace and his distribution skills from the back looks like it is suffering.

I think we may see an early sub with Horn going to Fullback and Sasha coming on.

We may have the makings of or the team post 2027 World Cup.

in the second half we will see

  1. Crappies
  2. Sasha
  3. Edwin
  4. AE
  5. Moodie
  6. Hooker
  7. Horn

I'm really excited about this backline, all relatively young except for AE, in future will probably be Hooker moving to 12 or even Paul De Villiers? if we you can believe Rassie

@Denny That would be a brilliant attacking backline. How good on defence? Probably okay.
Sasha definitely would make a great number 12. He is physical enough to do the job and very creative. Fast off the mark, able to distribute etc. He also has the boot of a flyhalf. It reminds me of the wee abs and their second five eights ploy.
I think Hooker for Arendse adds a bit of balance (How many more years will Kolbe be a Bok). Hooker takes care of business very well and amps up the physicality.
Plumpster what will Dyamani do better at 8 than Roos. Roos is more physical for starters. That said give it a shot.

@Beeno1 Sasha definitely would make a great number 12.

Quick off the mark and a strong runner.....shades of the legendary Tim Horan?
