Boks ring massive changes
Posted by Morné - 02/07/09 at 01:07 pm under British & Irish Lions Tour 2009Only Fourie du Preez is retained in the backline that started at Loftus as De Villiers makes massive changes ahead of the final test at Coke Park.
Zane Kirchner will earn his first Bok cap against the B&I Lions which sees also sees Morné Steyn getting a start with a brand new center and wing combination. Effectively this means you have 3 new combinations in the backline.
However, the Bulls contingent that is present in the backline will give a reasonable amount of fluency to them since they played together for the whole Super 14 especially the combinations of Du Preez, Steyn and Olivier at 9, 10 and 12 respectively.
Jaque Fourie gets a deserved start at 13 and Nokwe and Ndungane completes the back three.
In the forwards Kankowski gets the nod where Spies is given a breather starting from the bench.
Johann Muller will start alongside Matfield due to the unavailability of Bakkies due to suspension. Surprisingly De Villiers opted for Sykes on the bench instead of Bekker which brings more grunt to the bench and rewards Sykes for a good showing for the Emerging Boks.
Brüssow starts at 6 and the other change is Chiliboy who comes in for Bismarck who moves to the bench.
Bok team:
15 Zane Kirchner, 14 Odwa Ndungane, 13 Jaque Fourie, 12 Wynand Olivier, 11 Jongi Nokwe, 10 Morne Steyn, 9 Fourie du Preez, 8 Ryan Kankowski, 7 Juan Smith, 6 Heinrich Brussow, 5 Victor Matfield, 4 Johann Muller, 3 John Smit, 2 Chiliboy Ralepelle, 1 Beast Mtawarira.
Replacements: 16 Bismarck du Plessis, 17 Gurthro Steenkamp, 18 Deon Carstens,19 Steven Sykes, 20 Pierre Spies, 21 Ruan Pienaar, 22 Frans Steyn.

interesting team, backrow is pretty revolutionary though, should have left one of JP or Habana in the side for Ndungane who is very average.
I would’ve preferred Juan at 4 over Muller and called one of Vermeulen or Deysel or Potgieter into 7.

It is a little unfair to the new cap players. If things go wrong because of all the changed combinations their reputations will suffer.
The coach have an excuse and the first choice players look good without lifting a finger.

He has been their outstanding tight 5 player in every game he played.

interesting view, but on balance of things i disagree for this test match.
The first stringers have won and i cant see them wanting to bash it up in the 3rd one with the risks of bannings and injuries and all, the second stringers will get a chance and will have the hunger to make a case for their inclusion, which hopefully will translate into 3-0.

POLL ON SPORT 24
In my humble opinion, Peter de Villiers…
67% Should be fired as Springbok coach as he’s simply out of his depth
20% Should be retained, but SARU need to employ someone to speak on his behalf
13% Is doing a commendable job thus far and will only get better over time

Blame it all on the
spinning rugby scribes
with their selective
quotes.

The kind of reason why we are where we are today.
It’s similar to the morons on 702 this afternoon commenting on the bunch of metro cops who got off scot free for going on strike and then shooting at the SAPS
“Don’t fire them…. rather the devil we know…”
Screw that.
If he’s kak fire him.
If his replacement is kak fire him too.
We should not have to be scared of mediocrity we don’t know if we have the opportunity to rid ourselves of mediocrity.
