No, SANZAR want to have it so South african teams miss out completely on either playing Australian or New Zealand teams and alternate between playing them every season.

It is total crap to say that Meyer with the way the team has played their rugby over the last couple of seasons has a applied a stupid or ineffective rugby approach. Jannie, Burger and Alberts are all seasoned players who have been apart of that and are more than just one-out tank players or former shadows of themselves. JP is easily still one of the best Bok players in his position and I think you really are being naive on Hougaard just yet!
If you even bothered to read any part of my article which you clearly haven’t, I held off as much as possible from picking offshore based players and tried to form the best possible SA squad around players currently contracted to the SARU. Habana was my only overseas inclusion, however since seeing that Etzebeth will not be able to take part in the RC this year I have also included him as he was very hard to leave out in the first place. Your insistance on Brussouw is laughable when you consider his amount of injuries and his non inclusion really in the squad since the 2011 RWC.

If that is the current case as far as injury is concerned than as far as changing the player selections in my selected team. I would bring in Louw for Etzebeth, who even originally for me to leave out was a very tough choice. Have Damian de Allande come onto the bench for Mvovo and re-call De villiers for JP, as I heard yesterday, Meyer plans on naming as captain until next years world cup.

I think Meyer really needs to use this year to look to the future for the srum/flyhalf pairing. Whats your thoughts on a Hougaard/Lambie combo BB?

For some reason, the editorial entered a typo error with Stransky instead of Steyn
