    @Smuts really good strength in depth and giving time to AE and CM to forge a midfield partnership in case of injuries.

    Forget that Mapimpi is still about. Really good test match player.

    Hopefully Reinach has a good game to put some pressure on Faf.

    You’ve got a front 4 and a back 4 playing up front. Should be more than enough to provide a platform for what looks like an electric back line.

    Yeah, pretty good team. As @SidBarret said above, there were always going to be some stretch selections in this game.

    Just a delicate shouldered nudge to the punditry’s blather about selecting four scrummies in the squad.

    And forget about the bench split (surely Rasnaber should have gone 8-0 just as a big FU), has a team ever named 4 scrum halves in a match day 23 before?

    Hearing Marx pulled up injured today at training. Gone off for scans (never sounds good). Any Bok fans with any insight?

    Esterhuizen gave Jordie a tough time last up.

    Any chance he’ll sneak into the top team ahead of De Allende ?

    Tweet above says:

    “Unconfirmed but strong rumour is that Malcolm Marx’s #RWC2023 is over.

    The Springboks hooker has reportedly torn his ACL. 🤕 #RSA”

    Bummer for Malcolm.

    But every team has to deal with injuries.

    How many hookers they got in the squad?

    Is there the opening for Pollard yet?

    Edit: probably not. Still got to have 3 x No.2s

    @booboo Bongi, Dweba and Fourie. Statement says they’re not calling anybody up now.

    That's pretty callous. Its sucks for him and it sucks for us all when one of the players who most people would put in a world 23 doesn't play

    Pftttt. I’m sure there’s not much sympathy on SA message boards about Jordie, Shannon, Sam and Tyrell.
