Nearly half his team are has beens and is now making huge money overseas. What about current SA players that slog their hearts out week after week for their franchise and being denied a springbok jersey in favour of players playing for big money overseas. He may as well play with an old age home, average age being almost 30. We will probably get another hiding at the world cup if he carries on like this.

Ruan?? Petersen at wing would have been a much betr choice with the likes of juan de jong or damien de allende taking the number 13 jersey???

Replacements aren’t half bad either…

Could it be related to the English and French players having to fly to NZ and Australia and the related timezone shift and jet lag, while flying to SA from Europe doesn’t have the same problem due to the similar time zone?
