So a Bulls victory against the Sharks gives them the silverware for local Shield trophy. And possibly top spot in URC. That's definitely worthy

Malherbe couldn't dominate the Glasgow warriors. That's a concern

The Sharks Springbok frontrow was dominated by the Bulls in their last match. Bongi's lineout throwing was worse then Dweba.Thats a much bigger concern.

Sharks really do lead as far as fielding an inclusive team

Would be a decent team. I think if they really want to make Libbok work, they need to get another player in the team that can take the kicking duties, ala Montgomery and James . Though at this point I just cannot trust Libbok in tight pressure games, specially when weather is not perfect. He also seem to have become addicted to the cross field kick this season, it feels like he is overdoing it this season.

Start SMZ in 10. Something Dobson should have done a year ago.

Masuka before SMZ. SMZ needs experience

We need Libboks attacking and distribution skills. He is much more experience then Masuka. SMZ can slot in 12 if needed.

[_Os_]

9 Cameron Wright, 10 Siya Masuku, 11 Makazole Mapimpi, 12 Andre Esterhuizen, 13 Ethan Hooker, 14 Grant Williams, 15 Aphelele Fassi.

No Stomps thanks, they had a failed season. We don't need to bring that habit into the Boks.

[Sandstorm]

They both need time at 10. We are (always) desperate for good fly half stocks in SA.

Decent Currie Cup starting lineup. They’ll do well against Boland and EP.

[_Os_]

1 Ox Nche, 2 Bongi Mbonambi, 3 Vincent Koch, 4 Ntuthuko Mchunu, 5 Frans Malherbe, 6 Eben Etzebeth, 7 Pieter-Steph du Toit, 8 Franco Mostert.

That would be my pack. Maximum scrum power. 4 props with another 4 on the bench in the bomb squad, lets see what World Rugby thinks of that. Obviously the champion Sharks frontrow starts in the premium starting positions. The young and powerful Mchunu packs at 4, the stronger lock in the scrum. Stomp Malherbe failed against Glasgow so is demoted to the 5 jersey, his weakness will be more hidden there. Backrow has to be players capable of playing at lock as lineout options, because there are no locks now, just props. Main weakness in this experimental selection is there's 3 players who don't play for the champion Sharks.

[assfly]

I would love to see this pack play

[OomStruisbaai]

AE is allow to play against Wales.

Frans Malherbe can stand on the left wing and chase Fassi's kickbacks.

This is the problem with you oaks. Obsessed with multi skilled players. Don't believe in specialist players. SMZ is a freak talent. I believe he is the real deal. But where? He needs to nail down 1 position. Will struggle to be better than Fassi at 15. Bus is vol op 10 en 12. I would love to see SMZ moving from that toxic environment at the Stormers and move to the Sharks and be the master of 1 position.
Look. He has not been overhyped and let's his actions do the talking. Not the media. Besides Sharks need a new wimg.

But what would I do with him. 13 is short on depth for the boks. Him and Hooker are the future.

Damn right. Have you seen the distance Fassi gets on his kicks. Huge boot. And he chases it down himself. That,, taking the high ball and ghosting through opposition is his strongest points

[Sards]

AE is allow to play against Wales.

You have no idea how happy I am to have him back at the Sharks. I would watch his games or the highlights of his matches up north. Phenomenal player

[Sandstorm]

SMZ is a freak talent.

He has not been overhyped

You seem to have a hard-on for him at the moment. I doubt it will last unfortunately.

Quan Horn is a shoe in 15. The Boishaaier has been outstanding all season. Strong defender.

He needs to specialize.......and become a master of 1 position , not a jack of all trades and master of none

Well he went to Dale College. A very good rugby school.
