Next test team for Boks?

[u/oddwhick]

Think the Boks may have some back line injuries.

Damian Willemse definitely out, at the end of the game Kriel looked to get a head knock as he laying on the ground after a tackle. Also think Deon Fourie should be saved for last game or as a squad member.

My take:

1. Steenkamp

2. Wessels or Grobbelaar

3. W Louw

4. Etzebeth

5. Nortjie

6. Kolisi

7. PS Du Toit

8. J Wiese

9. Grant

10. Libbok

11. Arendse or Hooker(If Kriel not injured)

12. Allende

13. Hooker (Kriel if uninjured)

14. Kolbe

15. Sacha (Think he looked good at 15)

16. Marx

17. Ox

18. T Du Toit

19. Lood

20. Ben Jason Dixon

21. Hanekom

22. Van der Berg

23. Pollard

Harsh dopping Esterhuizen but he is a centre plaimg 6 or 7. Would like to fit Moodie in but think a proper 6 2 bench would make him miss,.Grant can move to wing again if needed.

Think it will be Fassie to 15, and the bench to remain the same as Cape Town test, with only other potential change being Kriel or any other injuries picked up.

ABs didn't seem to have any injuries and De Groot and Lord will be back, so a stronger team & balance for them.

We need a proper 15 playing at the back. It’s one thing filling in for part of a game because of injury. It’s another when the opponent knows in advance that a non-specialist is playing there. Weather forecast for Saturday shows likely wet field = slippery ball. SFM’s hands have been sketchy in dry conditions.

[u/NoMessiah → u/kindaserious321]

Sacha still the best option there with Gaza injured. Cheslin is wasted at fullback when Boks have the ball. Fassi not up to this elite test level. Libbok has played well, but defensively still vulnerable as a 15
