RugbyLeRoux: Yes, I do watch rugby. That's one of the main reasons why I choose to comment on it here, at Planet Rugby.

@ thevoice...i wouldnt play hougaard on wing when his preferred position is scrumhalf......i'd put basson on ahead of hougaard and pieterson...but pieterson has the experience that heyneke craves....mvovo needs to polish his act and lift his game a bit.......but he has the talent...he just needs more work

Basson does not convince me, at least for the moment.
Glad that Kirchener is out, although due to an injury. Few less Bulls and the picture will improve.

@ RugbyleRoux & Fish - ok so now that Hougaard should be on the wing - who will be your # 9?
I would play Basson before Mvovo or JP Peterson - Basson is the top try scorer out all the SA teams in super rugby and 2nd highest in the entire comp! Then there is le Roux from the Cheetahs, then Aplon and then Habanna. As for Mvovo well, just nowhere to be seen.
I do agree that Wynand Olivier must just go away!

@rugbyleroux.....hougaard is awesome on the wing.....i'd put him ahead of jp joe pieterson is pretty decent on the wing too and in my opinion mvovo ould be a good propect for s.a

Philipjfry do you even watch rugby? Habanna and mvovo are better, he'll even hougaard on the wing is better. He is good under the high ball tho, probs suit the the kick chase game better than jp

Hope Basson gets a run, by far the most talented wing in SA.

This makes them slightly stronger, Lambie is brave under the high ball and in the tackle. Hard to see what England can target except perhaps the lineout. Sure the Boks have worked on that. Was it just my eyes or were the England throw-ins pretty squint last weekend? Never blown up for it though. Lancaster may need to make some brave decisions but to his credit he was probably considering them anyway.
