Start Manie, Pollard off the bench. Having Manie on the bench makes zero sense. Give him the ball to pressure Scotland and have Pollard come on if there is a clutch kick that’s needed
I think Kwagga might start on his 50th cap match. He absolutely deserves to. Mannie to start this one, have Pollard come off the bench (he might play the full 80 against England, Pollard that is). Agree with Mostert, let him have a crack and see where exactly he is in terms of match fitness. I think Kriel has burned through alot of minutes in the springbok jersey, I'd start Am and have him his steak his claim for one last time this year. A bit unfair to start Wilco over Thomas, he's done no wrong, let him start.
I'm not a fan of Manie on the bench unless you bring him on at minute 45. Rugby games rarely "Open up" in the last 20 mins because both teams are tired. Damian McKenzie for example shone in the last 20 minutes because of 2 fantastic kicks and good marshalling to get the 1 try NZ needed to get over the line. Unless you are trusting Manie to make similar kicks like that to potentially win a tight match it's not worth it having him there. Better to rather start him and throw out the entire arsenal of weapons.

I say Manie against Scotland
Handre against England
Jordan against Wales
Manie to start and then Pollard on the bench. Pls give Manie a kicker for goal - he must just play.
I expect Ruan Nortje to start vs SCO...
but then would love to see us go nuclear vs England with RG and Sous both in the bomb squad

Jaden hendrixse is so smooth in his gameplay better than faf

Manie to start - if game is close and penalties are key polly can come on
Mannie.....give him a run.
We will see a real rassie shock selection
Manie will play....even though you always push for Pollard.
You're obviously new here...
