Wallabies vs Springboks 2
-
Its about player management and building depth.
Our URC squad players is now in reconditioning phase. The Springboks in the local teams will get their 8 weeks break after the November NH internationals. The others playing for NH clubs and in Japan need to be manage carefully.
The Springboks have a very experience pool of players and Rassie need to plan their replacements.
The youngsters he selected thus far (BJD, SFM, Louw, Moerat) has been excellent. The others like Fassie, Nortje, Wessels & Grobbies were in excellent URC form. The other changes like Mapimpi, Am, Escom plus the bench are world cup winners.

This might be a little too ambitious from rassie. He treating Australia like Portugal. If he pulls it off it will be awesome…
I think SA currently has the depth to do it. This appears to be their version of our 2004-07 squad.
Lots to lose though. If they’re trying to win the championship, this is risky. But in the bigger picture, great to be putting new players out there to see what they’re made of.
It’s definitely going to be entertaining! -

With WW2 spitfire pilot look-alike Nic White pulling the strings, anything is possible for them
As one who is a technical descendant of those mighty few fighter crews, wash your mouth out!
A technical descendant?? There's a cloning factory?

My money’s on Mustard this week.
That would be quite the turnaround in form for both teams. Oz would need a good lead when you look at the benches.
