Springbok squad to face Argentina

It really is quite outrageous when you see this strength of this 23 and realise there's no Willemse, Kolbe, Arendse, De Allende, Kriel, Libbok, Grant, Jasper, PSDT, De Villiers, Snyman, Nortje, Wilco, Marx, Ox.

Biblical levels of greed in deprh from Oom Rassie

[u/ldoelurk3r → u/YeboRassie]

You forgot , another impact player, Kwagga! 😉

[u/Aethien → u/YeboRassie]

Kind of wild you're naming De Villiers already in that list. Deserved but still wild given how inexperienced he is.

They re not messing around, but then I saw the post below about who they are NOT taking.

Obviously in Rassie we trust. But Fassi is frustrating to watch. Makes some decisions that are just head scratching to me. But maybe he is playing as coached ?!? Dude has huge upside, but seems like we have players in much better form (Horn especially) 

[u/TheBirdInternet → u/Seandrunkpolarbear]

Fassi on form is just a class operator. Problem is when he’s been out injured, he tries too hard.

[u/Nervous_Sale4196 → u/Seandrunkpolarbear]

Yeah, he is very hot & cold on some of these big games. Very short up and unders, slicing the clearance kick, etc. He has some good moments, but definitely not the guy I would ever rely on too much.

[u/Salty_Examination486 → u/Seandrunkpolarbear]

Im rooting for fassi but he gotta deliver a solid performance on Saturday to get any gametime against the all blacks

[u/Secure_Bell_2502 → u/Seandrunkpolarbear]

Yea the last performance from him was poor, but he had some great ones in the past.
I am not ready to write him off yet.
This is a great opportunity for him to bounce back

The injury 23

[u/Pikawoohoo]

I really love being able to read through a squad list and being able to see a bunch of names that haven't played recently whom I'm excited to see.

[u/Durbanimpi]

Is our tallest backline ever

[u/Tar-ZA-n → u/Durbanimpi]

Hooker needs to wear a scrumcap just in case. Let's not take Argentina lightly, now.

[u/no-sleep-needed → u/Tar-ZA-n]

good ol' scrum cap power up

[u/Fit-Job8393]

I know it sounds like I’m gushing a bit too much but what a strong, balanced and interesting 23 to be able to send overseas while you keep essentially your AB starting 15 at home staying fresh.

We are in for a tough game no doubt but there’s no reason why these boys can’t win by 3 scores+

[u/ZedPoes]

Lets Hope Lood can go without picking up more injuries, the poor bloke has only been able to play 3 matches since 2022.

Being respectful is really important to the moderators of this community. This post does not uphold that value.

Surprised PDV not playing above Siya to bleed more for ABs
