Four World Cup winners ruled out of Springboks' Nations Championship squad

Luan Giliomee listed as a flyhallf is interesting. Happy for Manu Tshituka. Sad there’s no Augustus, especially since this is the Northern tour. Concerned about hooker. Reckon it’s the only reason Marco clung onto his place. And finally, is Vusi Moyo fit? I rate him highly, and think of him as the closest to Pollard we have.

Galthie's inherent conservatism could yet hinder France as World Cup approaches

No, Galthié picks them all year round. Rassie's development plan involves almost never picking young players.

'Kiss and Borthwick should heed lessons from Canada's Red Rose conquerors'

Yeah, that’s fair.

I think he needs to start at 8 (Earl probably means Chessum at 6, whereas Pollock probably means Coles).

Big calls headline All Blacks' 36-man squad for Nations Championship

Boks have the tougher games in Europe and ABs are much more likely to get a BP and 3 wins compared to the Boks vs Ireland + France. I’ll be extremely surprised if the Boks make the final

Big calls headline All Blacks' 36-man squad for Nations Championship

I think the way it looks, the Boks will face FRA in the playoff game (again) and the AB’s will likely face ENG.

It should be FRA vs SA Final but 1 loss changes everything.

Sounds far worse than they let on at the time.

If he has lost that much size, it will take time to build himself back.

Big calls headline All Blacks' 36-man squad for Nations Championship

I think that was the case before the Bledisloe games but I thought he and BB were very good vs AUS and the attack looked very good for those 2 games.

DMac suits the Rennie attack and has put himself back in contention at 10 again.

Big calls headline All Blacks' 36-man squad for Nations Championship

Last summer I thought the option of Jordi/Leicester was the best centre pairing but Jordi/Quinn has gone well, looks solid and the attack is working, so there isn’t really a reason to change it and having Leicester off the bench brings impact.

I think the tough selection will be at 10. DMac suits the gameplan with his tight passing game. Mounga will need to show his form and the injury hasn’t helped and when that is finalised, Love will return to challenge the preferred order.

Yeah, I think that makes sense and keeps a “winning” team together that is used to playing together.

Frizzel is out for 6 weeks, so will miss the NC Series but when he & Ardie return there are some tough decisions to make.

'Kiss and Borthwick should heed lessons from Canada's Red Rose conquerors'

I do feel he’s wedded to the idea of a big #6 now, esp with more team counter-jumping at lineout because of the hardship of defending on the ground under the new maul rules.

And both Coles and Chessum are vg options there.

Christian Lio-Willie leapfrogs new Hurricane with All Blacks return

Yeah I think the 8 role suits him better that means others need to step up their workload though.

Maybe a bench 8, then?

So when he picked LBB at 19 for the world cup, it was because he did'nt have his top 14 players. Last year when he picked Gourgues in november ?Don’t speak about what you don't know.

Josh definitely wasnt carrying any extra weight at HBHS. He was a 2m bean pole. Meads was smaller than Segner. Crazy to think that. Fascinating to compare those guys pre-profesionalism before S&C and all the creatine!

I tend to agree….I’ll be happy if the Boks win all their games. It would set up a nice ABs vs France final with a more strengthened French team
