    Mid week matches for SA XV and ABs XV will be good for both our squads

    The Wales teams struggled in the URC. Our lot shouldn't underestimate them. There are a lot of experience in that squad.

    @Machpants this is the squad till end of year. Our season ends next week, so they need a big squad. There can be SA A matches aswell.

    Good to see some new faces.

    Ah that makes sense. Yeah boks have a lot of older players, most still good, but some are past their use by (e.g. Le Roux) and fresh blood is good

    🙂 was going to use "lock/6" but realised you guys number your flankers wrong.

    Open side and 2 is an interesting combo at this level.

    Even Mealamu was a converted flanker, but not sure when he made the switch.
