Credit to you guys for even trying to predict a Rassie lineup lol! I just shrug my shoulders and expect anywhere from 0 to 15 changes, and have full confidence that Rassie knows exactly what he's doing!
Why rest the players, given that it's the Boks' last match, after which they're gonna have a long rest. I reckon Rassie will play a very strong team to close out the tour with a big performance.
Guys, there will be very few first-choice players chosen against Wales. The four who haven't played yet on this tour will all be in. Backline will be Mapimpi, Esterhuysen, Am, Moody and Fassi/Willie. The Hendrikse brothers will start at SH and FH. Reserve hookers and props will all be there, ditto Mostert and Kleyn at lock. I would love for Hanekom to start instead of being benched as he has one hell of a motor on him and can keep going all day.
Nominations were announced. Three Boks in the 4 nominees for World Player, but sadly, Ox was not amongst them. The 4 nominees are: Eben Etzebeth Pieter-Steph Du Toit Cheslin Kolbe Caelan Doris.
Secondly... I get it!!! But man... i am experimented out of great rugby this year... I would just like to see 1one amazing game of BOK Rugby!!! Even if we lose!
Please note, once you play players like Grant Williams, Cameron Hanekom, Evan Roos, you putting your forwards under pressure, as these guys are fast and normally will run away from support players like the forwards, we saw this even against England with Grant, therefore the combinations is important. Faster players need to combine, play Hanekom and Williams will have a massive impact.
I called last weekends Bok starting 15 correct, so heres my side for this weekend. Steenekamp, Grobbelaar, du Toit Kleyn, Mostert Kolisi , Louw, Hanekom Hendrickse, Hendrickse Mapimpi, Esterhuizen, Am, Moodie, Fassi Bench Ox, Marx, Koch Etzebeth Kwagga Williams, Pollard, Le Roux
Franco Mostert is my choice as the nominee for 2024 Rugby Player of the year . He has been phenomenally outstanding in line-outs, defense and breakdowns in the RWC'S and Rugby Champions ships. He is on the same categoryand class as Eben Etsebeth, Cheslin Kolbe and PSDT. ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯💪💪💪👍👍🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
I still feel that we've got, to four years with the Boks. There are still few mistakes for the boys to perfect their match and ability to equal the All Black's standard.
Rassie will do Rassie and change the whole team. My matchday 23. 1- Gerhard Steenkamp 2- Johan Grobbelaar 3- Vincent Koch 4- Jean Kleyn 5- RG Snyman 6- Siya Kolisi 7- Pieter-Steph du Toit 8- Cameron Hanekom 9- Cobus Reinach 10- Jordan Hendrikse 11- Makazole Mapimpi 12- Andre Esterhuizen 13- Canan Moodie 14- Cheslin Kolbe 15- Wilkie le Roux 16- Thomas du Toit 17- Malcolm Marx 18- Eben Etzebeth 19- Kwagga Smith 20- Elrigh Louw 21- Grant Williams 22- Handre Pollard 23- Lukhanyo Am
Cheslin Kolbe, he unfortunately played in a pragmatic team since 2018. Elton Jantjies tried to unleash him but couldn't go against the kicking game. If he plays until 2027 which he will with a dynamic first five-eighth, he'll score more.
It will be the upset of the decade,if Wales beat SA.Even with one point.Sure SA will be nice,and pick their B and C team combined.And still win easily.
Rassie has capped 50 players this year. Time to see where the bokke are at with their strongest team with those available. As much as he’s looked to build depth this year, the team haven’t been quite as good as they can be with all the different combinations. Manie in all reality is the 3rd choice flyhalf, or perhaps even 4th behind Hendrikse. I think he’s run his race. Fassi has been a little hit and miss. Willie brings another playmaker to the team. Just like Deon Fourie in the WC final, age is only relevant if it’s effects performance.
1. Steenekamp 2. Grobelaar 3. W. Louw 4. Snyman 5. Kleyn 6. Kolisi (c) 7. E. Louw 8. Hanekom 9. Reinach 10. Le Roux 11. Aarendse 12. Esterhuizen 13. Am (vc) 14. Kolbe 15. Hendrikse 16. Marx 17. Nche 18. Koch 19. Mosterd 20. Smith 21. Du Toit 22. Williams 23. Pollard (vc) I apologize if I've spelled surnames wrong. I believe this is a crazy enough selection to possibly be close to what Rassie will pick.
@jj56x7.5mm ill make that consession. But ill drop Aarendse for Moody, just because there is still a lot to be learned from playing next to Am, for both Moody and Esterhuizen. We forget very quickly how brilliant Am was before 2023 as both an attacking linch pin and as a defensive organizer. Playing inside (or outside) him or Damien D will always have value for new players, especially during a test match (same for Kriel).
So tired of picking a BOK B team to try and making it exciting! Are we not denying players and spectators of sensational rugby and maybe even tugby history?
Libbok should get a final chance. I think he is playing for his career after an average game against England. His kicking at goal is affecting his confidence and entire game.
If you have him you need Pollard or Sacha ready. I don’t agree he should ever end a game. Only start. Play the easier games as players need rests and rotation. And never let him put up his hand again for a long range kick penalty with 2.5mins of a first half to go! Go for the corner Mr.Capt and Rassie and set up a maul try or closer penalty!
Libbok had his last chance. Time for Jordan Hendrikse. Libbok has no business being in the Bok side if he kicks at goal like a loser under pressure and only wins 15m with linekicks from penalties. He even kicked an up and under that went backwards against England, just shocking. His 1 our of 20 lucky crosskicks does not make up for all the bad things he does. His defence is even worse than his kicking.
The Boks are playing way below average. The rot started with the last game in SA. The defense structure is gone. The speed out of the bocks was non-existent. We can't neglect our defense. The Boks become disoriented, and the system looks broken. The captain is not focussed , Etsebeth looks tired. The starting 8th man is a disaster. Scrum half should be Reinagh and 10 Pollard. Stop trying to force Libbok in the team. He looks bewildered and affects the whole teams performance.
Springboks get all the easy games like they are little babies with training wheels 😂😂😂 played Ireland and Nz twice in SA lol big sooks and now they are paying off all referees have to jump in and rescue them just about every game even against Scotland and England 😂😂 pisss weak
You have issues bro. Look at the last 8 years, hehe. And locations are rotated annually. Like NZ in SA etc. It’s good to be a Bok ‘Bru’. Sadly you weren’t born with it.
fabienjean5875 😂😂 just facts Little buddy lol babysitting the wittle babies 😂 Food poisoning and paying off referees 🤷🏼♂️ It’s one thing to do against Ireland and Nz but against Scotland and England POO! Lol
love your alternative facts somehow you have as gospel. Ever actually watch a game with your eyes and see the game plan, coverage, commitment and winning mentality. Guess not.
What's wrong with your guys with the Libbok player what an useless player and you keep on playing this man what Hold do he and le Roux had on springbok rugby pls wake up we must support the Boks but these 2 make you stop supporting
Credit to you guys for even trying to predict a Rassie lineup lol! I just shrug my shoulders and expect anywhere from 0 to 15 changes, and have full confidence that Rassie knows exactly what he's doing!

I reckon Rassie will play a very strong team to close out the tour with a big performance.
😂😂
@@jaygeeist I think he will go exactly the opposite way to allow the new guys a bit of time on the field. Probably see Hanekom and Jordon H get a run.
We should see Hanekom and the Hendrickse brothers in the starting 15 and Jean Kleyn possibly off the bench.
❤ from CPT, SA
You guys are great
Steenekamp, Grobbelaar, Tank, Kleyn, Mostert, Van Staden, Louw, Hannekom, Jaden, Jordan, Mapimpi, Esterhuizen, Am, Moodie, Willie. Res: Marx, Ox, Koch, Eben, Snyman, Kwagga, Williams, Pollard.
Good choise
Lekker team
Just not the Hendrickse brothers. Wilco Louw must be the tighthead.
Guys, there will be very few first-choice players chosen against Wales. The four who haven't played yet on this tour will all be in. Backline will be Mapimpi, Esterhuysen, Am, Moody and Fassi/Willie. The Hendrikse brothers will start at SH and FH. Reserve hookers and props will all be there, ditto Mostert and Kleyn at lock. I would love for Hanekom to start instead of being benched as he has one hell of a motor on him and can keep going all day.
Rassie has built , now he is mixing to create and develop combinations !

Guys Rassie will make wholesale Changes, Eben won't play this game, Bongi will be rested. The centre's will also be rested and Siya Kolisi also
Willie will play. Gets him to within 1 of the century which he will probably get in the June inbound tests at home.
But then Rassie... 🤣
If you're gonna go with Johan Grobbelaar to start, why not use him with the whole Bulls front row?

I reckon Rassie will switch it up...Moodie and Mapimpie for sure...maar weet nooit wat raas in Rassie se kop😅
South Africa should send their U20’s to make it more fair on wales
Expect a 8/0 nuke bench, The End Game...

Hendrikse at fly half with Reinach, Le Roux at full back.
What you guys misunderstand that the team was picked before the autumn series. Now you can go for all the players not having a chance before
Jessie kriel and Andre Esterhuizen would be a good combination👍
well if you can predict Erasmus you must have a crystal ball
Seeing that I'm first I would just love to know who is better Bryan Habana or cheslin kolbe ?
Cheslin Kolbe, he unfortunately played in a pragmatic team since 2018. Elton Jantjies tried to unleash him but couldn't go against the kicking game. If he plays until 2027 which he will with a dynamic first five-eighth, he'll score more.
Rassie will select his best players for this game.
Agreed......I think we need to make a statement this game
No ways
I think they will rest Etzebeth and Pieter-Steph. Cameron on the bench would be nice.
It will be the upset of the decade,if Wales beat SA.Even with one point.Sure SA will be nice,and pick their B and C team combined.And still win easily.
PSDT Flew home last night .

With all respect to Wales, you are not going to be able to guage where you are when you play against them.

It will be the same starting team less Manie.
PICK A STRONG TEAM. WE DONT NEED TO LOSE A GAME NOW ON THE HOME STRAIGHT!
Folks Wales are down but not out ! Give them some credit ! They’d will get better !
They can only get better

Would love to see Cheslin or Even as PSDT had it before. If Doris wins we SA’s will cry a braai for a year!
Eben played 80 mins against scotland too so deserves a rest
I’m picking Wales to win by -40 points
Libbok should get a final chance. I think he is playing for his career after an average game against England. His kicking at goal is affecting his confidence and entire game.
Nope, he must get another 100 chances. 😊
If you have him you need Pollard or Sacha ready. I don’t agree he should ever end a game. Only start. Play the easier games as players need rests and rotation. And never let him
put up his hand again for a long range kick penalty with 2.5mins of a first half to go! Go for the corner Mr.Capt and Rassie and set up a maul try or closer penalty!

His defence is even worse than his kicking.
He had to many chances time to fire him
Manie Limpcock is an embarrassment 😔
I reckon Russie might go 4+4 for the bench????😂
debutant hannekom
With Rassie nobody knows!
RIP Wales big hiding incoming from the mighty Boks.
The Boks are playing way below average. The rot started with the last game in SA. The defense structure is gone. The speed out of the bocks was non-existent. We can't neglect our defense. The Boks become disoriented, and the system looks broken.

ox is not playing this weekend
Easy games - Wales lost 11 in a row. England who on a 5 games loosing streak.
Both dudes are wrong with front row.
Libbok cant be picked as a goalkicker he is not reliable in fact he is poor!!!!
If Rassi does not play Hanekom then he will leave and play somewhere else.
Bye hanekom. Dont let the stable door hit you
He would not.
Springboks get all the easy games like they are little babies with training wheels 😂😂😂 played Ireland and Nz twice in SA lol big sooks and now they are paying off all referees have to jump in and rescue them just about every game even against Scotland and England 😂😂 pisss weak
Jealousy make you nasty!
You have issues bro. Look at the last 8 years, hehe.
And locations are rotated annually. Like NZ in SA etc.
It’s good to be a Bok ‘Bru’. Sadly you weren’t born with it.
Yes also had a very easy road to winning the 2023 world cup hey Mr. Asshole?
