95@ grootblousmile:
Thanks boeta for taking time out to answer my post there.
Look that is exactly what I was thinking that Meyer will select as close as he can to what the Boks were in the wc. So when Mallett said Zane or Lambie, I just had to wonder at that, does he know something we are not aware of? Could be. I would be disappointed if that was the case and he had to select against who he does really want to start. Anyhow if he really has no choice and has to select a player of colour then it should be Aplon and not Zane. However, I think if Fransie is not up to speed with how we are playing right now it very well could be JdJ and JdV in the first test. As that is the combo for Stormers and it could work well. Next test without a doubt it will be Fransie at 12 if he does not start in the first. We all know by now that Meyer DOES want Fransie as his inside centre (long term) so just have to see who gets selected for this test.
96@ grootblousmile:
Have no doubt after this season Meyer will have his team and not rely on the team that started in the last world cup. From what has been said too, seems that Meyer prefers a big ball carrier at six rather than a fetcher type of player. So we could see Marcell there eventually or Burger back playing there. Well if what we reading is anything to go by, but I feel ONLY the tests will tell Meyer who is suited best. He will know after the RC that comes later this year.
Goosen is a superb player and he could be our number one fh. Needs to start there sometime to get a look and see. For now think Lambie will be covering Morne even if he starts at fb. Think we will go for a 5/2 split. Think that is the way Meyer will go. Ruan and probably Aplon on the bench or Ruan and Lambie on the bench if Aplon starts. Jeez just can’t see Zane starting boeta.

So my thinking is if Meyer goes with JdV in the first test with JdJ then we will definitely see Lambie start at fb. If Fransie starts and JdV is at outside centre. Who knows it could be Zane. Eish! Then hope it is Aplon. Should be Lambie don’t care what other sites are saying it really should be Lambie. He is a far, far better fb than any over there give him credit for.

Gbs,
What is the code on Superbru for JWC for Rugby-Talk?
June 1st, 2012 at 18:35 SAST
As far as I can remember Fransie will not be available for the second test match. He decided to get himself a new boss at home.

I have read that Frans Steyn said he would be available for the first two tests. He said he will not be available for the 3rd as that is the day he is getting Married.

Okay I am in gbs. Hope the others get it in time.
Now definitely will be rubbish at this one too. Only really take note of the Tri-Nations and 6 nations U20 teams and even then it could go either way. So my first picks were just thrown in without much thought.
Thanks for the effort in getting us a pool to play in gbs.
