I would have dropped Vermeulen and Pieter-Steph du Toit. One’s past his prime and the other has been injured and quiet. I didn’t think PSDT had a good game against Wales either.Scott1 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 23, 2022 7:26 pmThat’s a great question,and one I don’t think I can answer. An absolute embarrassment of riches!

Re: RUGBY CHAMPIONSHIP 2022
But PSDT at full fitness is the best player in world rugby in his position.
He needs game time really.
Vermeulen Potentially is past his prime but with 2 young number 8’s he provides amazing experience to learn from

Re: RUGBY CHAMPIONSHIP 2022
Good points all round guys, Coetzee is just such a good player though at 6 or 8,the young players would learn an incredible amount from him too. Slightly disagree on PSDT,Matera is the world's best 6 for me.
