Wales v Springboks
-
Last test of the year for the Boks.
The team I would love to see:
- Steenekamp (to make up for the YC and get some more experience).
- Mbonambi
- W. Louw
- Etsebeth
- RG Snyman
- Kolisi
- Elrich Louw
- Wiese
- Reinach (deserves a longer outing)
- Libbok
- Kolbe (would rest him, but need his versatility should Willie get injured)
- Esterhuizen (deserves a run)
- Am (due an extended run)
- Moodie (good to get more experience)
- Le Roux (will go to 99 caps)
Bench: 6 - 2
Ox (if fit)
Marx
Koch
PSDT (can cover lock too)
Kwagga
Cameron Hanekom (super keen to see this lad in Green & Gold)
Pollard

Result is a foregone conclusion
Would love to see both sides running it with abandon
75-40 to the Boks

The odds do seem stacked against you guys Mike.
But for some reason, Wales is always problematic for the Boks so while I am optimistic, I am not expecting a blow-out.And agreed - would be great if both teams played fearlessly. Would make for a fun watch.

I expect Rassie will blend in a few of the newbies.
For me, Hanekom is a must. He deserves a chance to show what he can do one step up. -

It kills me that Esterhuizen would walk into any other team in the world and only gets to carry the water for SA. They made him watch the England warm up last week. Being a Quins fan, having André the giant outside Smith was Quins greatest strength
Tough when the guy ahead of you is de Allende!
But yes - I am a big Esterhuizen fan.
I never stress when I see him on the team sheet. The guy will deliver. -

Gatlands last stand?
It will be another 50 pointer.
-
@Billy-Webb Kleyn & Mostert will also play.

Heard through the grapevines
Willie le Roux, Moodie, Am, AE, Mapimpi, Hendricks, Hendricks, Cameron Hanekom, Elrich Louw, Escom, Kleyn, Mostert , Thomas Tank, Grobbies, SteenkampBench
Ox, Marx, Wilco, Etsebeth, Kolisi, PSdT, Williams, LibbokI'd be pretty happy with that team Oom.
A little surprised about the inclusion of Ox - I assume the stitches will hold.... -
Hendrikse brothers paired at halfback for Wales finale
Jaden and Jordan Hendrikse – the 36th set of Springbok brothers – have been paired at halfback for the season’s final Test against Wales in the last match of the Castle Lager Outgoing Tour at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Saturday.

Much stronger team then mine. The bench is unbelievable.
My thoughts, excellent for steadying the ship if required. But imagine of there is no need for steadying things and you have a good lead and the the Welsh guys see that lot coming on... Sheesh!
