Oh man i forgot about the returning players from injury. Jeez the amount of quality just waiting to have a go out there is just enormous. What generation we have at the moment
Thanks Jordan I am extremely happy that Ben-Jason Dixon is in the group! He has leadership qualities He was captain of the Maties Varsity Rugby team, University of Stellenbossch I am a proud Matie! 🎉🎉🎉
Flyhalf is the interesting one for me. Sacha is the long-term option, and can get the backline going really nicely! But.... I sense Rassie may go back to Pollard, at least for the 1st test. Dont want to put too much pressure on Sacha too early on in his career! Then again...predicting what Rassie will do is almost impossible. For all I know he could start Ox at flyhalf! :) Great vid, thanks mate!
@BesterInvestor Rassie names team the Tuesday. Dmac picks up an injury Wednesday and pulls out of the game lol :) Ox has pretty wicked ball skills too for such a big guy!
@@OnlineSuccessCoach - the mobility & ball-playing skills of modern-day props are actually quite amazing. When I was a kid, the prop shoved and scrummed, the lock jumped in the lineout, the scrumhalf distributed, the flyhalf kicked, etc. Today, most of the players can do all of the above. Great athletes, good times!
My prediction of the future is that we need to play Sacha and Canan as the center pair. Enough experience, and raw talent and speed. For the same reason I would select Williams and Libbok as my half back pairing. When Damian is fit, with KLA and Kolbe rounding off the backs, no side will even smell this backline!
Discipline, not giving away penalties within kicking distance especially, keeping ball possession, not giving away turnover ball ,aggressive defense ,taking opportunities to kick for goal when they come up like the ABS do ,not going for the posts but going for a 5 m line out , can be suicide against the ABS
I definitely don't think Sacha will start. I think it will be best for him to come on second half and run at the more fatigue All Blacks defense and just express himself been given the freedom
Is Jason Jenkins injured? I think he is back in SA at the Sharks. If you are looking at building for the future, he should be in the mix as he is only 28.
Am really needs to be in the starting 15 i feel we lose a bit wen he's not playing the guy is exceptional and he's playing himself back into prime form
Not sure it will work. You need the top experienced players who still shows their ability to swing big games. Remembered what happened in last Ausie game - everything changed when the big dogs came from the bench. We want that the whole 80 minutes against the AB's Libbok might get his shot with the game in Cape Town. Again, depends what happens in the first game. And Rassie of course. Still do not think he will take any chances against the ABS.
I will pick Andre Esterhuizen above Damian. In the beaten we got in NZ last year and unallowed try in the final, the ABs was attacking him because he too slow. ABs is actually a fear of Andre Esterhuizen.
I rate they will bring all the big guns back for the first test: 1 Ox 2 Bongi 3 Frans 4 Etzebeth 5 RG 6 Siya (c) 7 PSDT 8 Elrigh 9 Rienach 10 Pollard 11 Cheslin 12 De Allende 13 Kriel 14 Arendse 15 Le Roux 16 Marx 17 Kitsie 18 Koch 19 Nortje 20 Van Staden 21 Kwagga 22 Williams 23 Sacha Not sure if they will throw Jasper straight in but they might.
Please no more Salmaan Moerat, he’s had his opportunities and just underperformed every time, Start Eben & Ruan Nortje Sub RG put PSDT in at lock and then BJDS at flank 👌
