Quite surprised at omissions of Gio Aplon, Peter Grant and Juan de Jongh.thought they would Crack the nod.

Pity about Kanko. Him signing for Japan (also Wynand Olivier) did not go down well with the coach

Also surprised about Aplon and De Jong not so much about Grant. Can't see how Brussouw (barring injury) could not be in the squad. He made the Sharks look ordinary in the first half of the last round robin match.

Can't see how Brussouw (barring injury) could not be in the squad.

Agree...
Different Class

Injured Springboks not considered for selection were: Bjorn Basson, Juan Smith, Schalk Burger, Heinrich Brüssow, Bandise Maku,Coenie Oosthuizen,Jaco Taute, Johan Goosen and Duane Vermeulen

The Wallabies and All Blacks must be rubbing their hands and i bet the Argentinians are shitting themselves not.

We could almost pick a full team out of these - all of them except Maku would make my team

By the time Juan Smith makes a return, he might be a grandfather.

One of the best players to have is career cut short by multiple injuries.

Maybe he has a top season or 2 left in him.....who knows. Nice to see though that he is still being considered by the coach

not a very good performace

If you look at NZ this morning, using the 2 best centre's in the world as decoy runners to set up tries. We are so predictable. Keegan Daniel way out of it at test level. Juan De Villiers.....big ? Just glad Morne Steyn lifted his form. All Blacks to win this cup.

I cannot believe that Nic Mallet is sitting in a studio instead of coaching:S

Well done Bokke, maar julle gaan swaarkry vorentoe.
