With the exception of the dropping of daniel???? and non-selection of aplon??? and the survival of some players you love to hate in the squad, can I confidently predict some pretty happy saffas on this site?

Quite right, Goosen won't be thrown in straight away. Lambie will start at 10 with Goosen given time off the bench. Surely?

Hmmmm.... the Goose ain't ready yet, needs more time to get match fit, same with Duane.... Flouw aint a bad call, they need a fetcher.

Overall dont think we gonna get much change though - this team has had no chance to gel and unless we start sorting out the massive injury rate they wont ever have that chance.

More "lambs" to the slaughter. Or in New Zealands case, more girl friends !!! sorry that was a baaaahhhed joke.

As an aussie, I hope Fish Stain keeps getting selected for many years to come, he is a great goal kicker !!!

Vermuelen is the man, he's hit the ground running since he's come back from injury and is so much better than Spies who doesn't tackle, ruck or carry the ball hard. What do you guys reckon on Goosen though? Unquestionably good enough on top form but is it too soon after his injury? Personally I don't think he's had enough game time since coming back to warrant throwing him in at the deep end, don't want to knock his confidence at this stage in his career.

Hit amazes me that he keeps talking about losing 800 caps of experience, but those same old dads army group went out in the quarters of the WC, by a young Aussie team. Now he brings in some new talent who are just going to sit on the bench and watch a out of form team loose. Ah the wonderful world of a Bok coach.

Smartest decision since the employment of the incredibly intelligent PDV...
