Springboks vs Wallabies @ Newlands 27/9/2014

[fatprop]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Beale dropped onto one wing with AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) on the other

We were shit house at getting out of our half, and Horne & Tomane have little in the way of a kicking game.

Kellaway could be a bolter, if he starts for the Tahs and fulfills his undoubted promise.

 

[rugbysmartarse]

speaking of potential wingers, where will Harmichael be playing for the reds? Is he going to get the typical "stick the league player on the wing" treatment?

 

[Highlander35]

6 competitors for 11-15.

Depending on who's last in the pecking order of CFS, Turner, Kerevi and Tapuai, Mr. Hunt will probably play either in the centers or at fullback.

Doubtful. He almost never played there in league (never in the centres either) and lacks the flat out pace to be a finisher.

so that leaves 10?

 

[hammertimethere]

Centres or fullback apparently

 

[Braveheart81]

Hunt will almost certainly start the season at fullback.

 

[KOB1987]

anything I have read on Harmichael, which admittedly isn't a lot, led me to feel that he was being blooded for the 15 shirt..

No I just mean as a leaguie coming across, he hasn't really played in the positions that would transfer to a winger.

 

[KOB1987]

Dane Coles has gone home for a child birth (god these wives have been inconsiderate this TRC!)..Mealamu to start, Nathan Harris to the bench..big blow v the Pumas front row..

 

[Strewthcobber]

Hunt played inside centre as a schoolboy rugby player and was there as well most of the time for Biaritz, but as others have said the media reports have him at full back for the Reds

@ Urich -

Ages at next year's world cup

BDP (31)
JDP (31)
Matfield (38)
Bakkies (36)
Burger (32)
FDP (33)
Jacques Fourie (32)
Beast (30)
JDV (34)
Habana (32)
Pienaar (31)
JPP (29)
Steyn (31)
Vermeulen (29)
Louw (30)
Alberts (31)
Strauss (29)
Van der Merwe (30)

 

[Train Without a Station]

Surely not all of those will play though.

I'd imagine it will be either Piennarr or FDP for example and Hougaard.

Also Matfield, Botha and Van Der Merwe won't all play. Etzebeth will take one spot.

Much the same with Burger and Louw. Only will will likely play.

Has Fourie been used in the last year? Is he injured?

Poor bastard may have to start at THP.

Seriously it will be at fullback. Simple Reason: We don't have a good one !!!

 

[BDA]

Yeh I agree a bunch of those guys maybe wont make the squad, which makes me wonder why Meyer is currently selecting guys like Botha and Burger. Does he plan on selecting those guys in his squad next year?

Fourie I agree seems to be out of the picture atm.

i shall be surprised if KHunt is not a starter at RWC. he will probably displace the worst player currently starting in 10, 12, 13 or 15. the bloke has the skills and football brain to star at any of those.

Remember Burger is an injury replacement. Isn't Kyolisi (spelled wrong) injured too? In addition Alberts is out.

no love for Folau?

 

[Train Without a Station]

He's talking about the Reds.

We don't even have a shit one in fact. They're all gone!
