That would be a huge mistake, he doesn't have to be loyal to the old team. we need more of these young blood to face big games heard on while still early
I think Rassie’s plan is to have two completely different Bok teams that play a completely different style against different teams so the other teams never know what style they’re going to get until the last minute and act accordingly. It’ll be like having two national teams instead of one 😂👍🙏 We can do it because we have the depth of players to do it.
I was thinking the same … have 2 teams you can field and win any game with. Then have the option to make up a team from both when needed. I think Rassie is really thinking about dominating rugby for years going forward.
There is going to be a time where most of these experienced players will retire and Rassie will move on from Rugby...then we will talk about this being the best ever era of our sport...lets just enjoy it and appreciate Rassie and the boys, honestly one can even argue that this squad is better than the one who won the World cup i mean thats crazy😂Here is to The greatest era of springbok Rugby History 💯🔥
think you’ve hit the nail on the head here, squarely we should appreciate and treasure what we’ve got ~ immensely a most amazing setup this and thus support wholeheartedly all the way, the young Manne coming through so powerfully, talentedly and bravely🥂💫 ENJOY, ADMIRE, APPRECIATE, SUPPORT, TREASURE‼️ 👊🔥 🪖
We will have a huge problem by next WC in the centres. Our top 4 will be 34-36 years old, and no new blood tested at center but old guys out of position.
@@ant208 No worry, just take note of all those in the provincial, Curry Cup and senior school's competitions. School Boys-Back line players weighing 90 to 98 Kg and running the 100 meters in 10.5 to 11 seconds and forwards, at ages 18 to 19 weighing 110 to 120 Kg and running the 100 meters in 11.5 to 12 seconds!
Another good thing of Am being started on inside centre is that he can move to outside centre if Pollard comes on in inside centre. And not to forget, Cheslin and Libbok can play 15 as well. It's actually crazy the amount versatility we have in this squad!
No I recon Rassie is spot on...Game time is needed for these guys...Great to see...looking forward to this encounter...Boks have so much depth...fantastic.
Calculated madness = genius. That's Rassie. Love this team. We have to test the quality of our depth at some stage. What an opportunity to unleash a hungry, talented squad. I particularly love Am at 12. Such creative distribution and skill. Come on, Men. Go Champions
Rassie has sixth sense on player ability and potential. He lives, eats, sleeps and dreams outside of the box and he is not scared to roll the dice Life rewards the brave and right now all the players and Rassie are on the groovy train - winging and faithing it He elevates the game, for fans, spectators and the guys in the jersey!
Rassie is a strategist. He knows exactly what he is doing. To prepare properly for 2027, he has to do what he is busy doing. In rugby, you need depth. His tactics on the field last week were also brilliant. I support Rassie 100% with his ideas! Kobus du Toit, Freestate.
I respect Rassies brilliance but I think he may have gone a bit too far with this selection. This was a very good opportunity to. Cement a strong position in the championship. I hope he proves my concerns unfounded
I'm in sport myself for 47 years as a coach, I know what Rassie has in mind. As I said, in rugby, it is extremely important to have depth, and the more players you have as quality players in every position, the better. It is good if your second team is as strong as your first team.
Its still a spectacular team.Rassie is sending them in for the acid test against the Ozzies,so he has them primed and ready for the Blacks the big one.Keep on going Rassie you know the score.Happy days🤣😛
Love it, he trusts his squad and players. If can build enough depth that we have 3 players in each position like he wants we will build something really special. With a the rugby be played you need depth.
There is so much diversity in that bench and team. Kwagga being a utility loose forward, PSD cam switch to lock, Grant Williams can cover wing, Manie and Handre can both cover 15...endless options really!
Brilliant. I suspect that he is building up the squad, with his eye on the next WC 🏆 !! I do not believe that we may lose to the Wallies on Saturday, but even if they do score more than our Springboks, the junior boks will get some international game time experience! 🇿🇦 “Go Bokke !”
That backline looks like it is an all out attack option. Having Am on the inside it clearly hints that the boys will try to play an expansive game. It seems like Manie will come on as 10 and Handre on inside giving us ALL the options in the backline.
Libbok is much more like a Marcus Smith, having him as another FB option to build depth there and having Willemse as a utility back as a 10/12/15 option is best. - whilst keeping SFM,Pollard and Willemse as the 10s
Libboks playmaking is too good to leave at 15. It makes sense to bring him in at 10 and pollard at 12. So we have his playmaking without having to rely on him for kicking.
There is no way Libbok comes on at 15. It’s definitely going to be Libbok at 10, and Handre at 12. If Libbok does come on for Fassi, Sacha will move to 15, not Libbok.
This is the plan. Get the next World Cup squad blooded and ready for 2027. Winning the first test demonstrates we are equal to or better than Australia (and Ireland last time) the second test is more for experimenting with an eye to the future.
This is such a good opportunity for these guys to get a crack and I am super excited for every single one of them. We need to start blooding the newer generation of Boks so that we can be the first country ever to go back to back to back in a world cup. I am situated in NZ and have heard numerous Allblack supporters mention how much they are missing the SA teams in Super Rugby. Lets go BOKKE! And thanks for the awesome content Jordan, hoping that you reach your goals of interviewing Rassie and Siya at the end of the year. I for one, will be eagerly watching and waiting.
Leadership is the capacity to assess the operating reality, think strategically and act intentionally. In this mix is the strategy which is to build capacity and experience for the long term... this means that winning this match (a short term consideration) has a different value to the longer term. This is fascinating.
Jan Hendrick is explosive in the tight loose, I feel Tony may have had a hand in his selection. TduT has been unbelievable for Bath, wonder why he had to leave the Sharks to realize his potential? Grobbelaar is a decent 2, he won't let the team down on the day, fundamentally sound...
Love the fact that these boykies are getting a tough run as it will show what they have.... gives Rassie a whole lot of backup players who can fit in anywhere.... smart think and planning, going to be a great game but we shall see how the 'new' manne step up 😎
This squad is not a 'B' squad it's still has world cup winners in it and the banch is packed with all world cup winners again no need to panicky we are led by Coach Dr. Rassie
He's confident, as he was going into the 2nd test against Wales and the 2nd test against Ireland... just saying... Rassie is quite prepared to risk a defeat if it means building experience and player depth...
There is a difference between short term planning and longterm thinking. This why Rassie challenges some people's thinking. He is always thinking longterm ( 2029 world cup) . Secondly he always has new strategy for every game. Strategic thinking combined with longterm planning is the way forward to Springbok longevity
What's crazy to imagine is that this team will be playing against the "other" Springbok team during training... I would LITERALLY buy tickets to see that 😍😂
Great review mate! Thanks. Definitely part of the building and growth plan. I love that we are doing this now. Super exciting team with lots of potential.
5-3 split is the right move i feel. If our scrum goes wrong, we have 5 incredibly experienced forwards to come on and make a difference. The idea of also having pollard on the bench to replace 12 is good because he could replace Kriel or Am. If he replaces Kriel, Am slots into the 13 position. Also, Libbok can replace Sacha or Fassi as Sacha could move to fullback too. And although Williams will come on for van den Berg, hes also a potential replacement at wing incase we have something happen to kolbe ot mapimpi, but we also have sacha for that. Despite the inexperienced forward pack, i think this is still a beast of a team. Another bonus point win i hope!
Concerned about SFM’s out of hand kicking game… happy with most everything else. It will be interesting to see the contrast in impact of the SFM and the Mannie kicking games.
Wow! What an interesting lineup! Curious to see Lukhanyo Am in the 12 channel for a change; I think he’ll be fine, since he simultaneously covered 12 and 13 in the Portugal test 🤣. Also interesting to have two flyhalves on the bench. Sorry to hear some fans continuing to diss Salmaan Moerat, who gets a lot of undeserved stick. He’s not Etzebeth or Snyman, and plays a different style at lock, but he’s solid. Hope he gives a performance that shuts up some of the naysayers steadily throwing shade at him. Overall it’s a very attack-minded side.
@Mr.RB123 I get what you're saying, but a lot of them have under 10 caps and some under 5.. even though they'll be playing in the 2027 rwc, they're still not our strongest side yet
The weird thing is that it seems the captaincy basically means nothing to south africa. I mean on a team with Am, Kriel, PSDT, Nortje....they choose Moerat.
You're not thinking with an eye towards the 2027 World Cup, and Rassie is. Do you think Am, Kriel, PSdT will be in the 2027 World Cup squad? And beyond?!?!?!? He's grooming his next leadership group, which, in the last World Cup, comprised Siya, Thor, Handre, Cheslin, Eben, Willie and Bongi. He's going to add Nortje, SFN, Weekend Special and others to that group in the next few years.
Jacques Nienaber is on record as saying the Boks often don't select the best player but the RIGHT player, and that might be why Salmaan is there. For a lock he does a lot of good things under the radar, his defense is excellent and he can go a long way.
I think this is a great move. Keep them guessing and get some game time for the inexperienced players. Aussies are sadly a B-tier team now and Rassie can feel confident with this team. NZ also not having the best of runs but you can never count them out. Handre in 12 is a good move, he does have that centre running game. Manie is the perfect 10 if he can improve his kicking game and I think between him and Sacha they can eventually replace the ice king Pollard
I think Rassie is flexing the depth that we have and why not. Keeping the Wallabies guessing 😉 I like it. Didn't see it coming but ja so should the opposition also not see it coming 👍👍
I thought it was going to be Sacha who plays 12 , but handre shocked me on that 12 channel, but we can't say handre plays that 12 good because he only played for a couple of minutes .
@@blaquenguni9249 that begs the question why would Rassie pick anyone who can't defend or tackle he is clearly looking to make the backline more versatile. Pollard will most likely slot in at 12, but the way things are going, it won't surprise me if he does at 13 and Ox kick for poles
In the short term a little concerned with this line up. In the long term love dishing out the experience. The bench lacks the physicallity. Guessing second half Grant comes in, Sacha moves to full back, Libbock at 10 and Pollard at 12, with either Am moving to 13 or coming off. If it goes to plan how do you stop those guys in full flight? About time Eben moves to the bench. They need to really start managing his game time. Want him to make the next world cup
Rassie is not a Dr by mistake, he knows more players need to be exposed to pressure at this level. After the semi final performance and 2nd Irish Test, he knows playing the same team twice has not always gone our way so why not take a chance on the youngers while giving them much needed game time with the eye on 2027. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous but we have the Extinction Squad on the bench should we need a plan B, it'll be tight but we should still win this game or lose with a bonus point as a worst case scenario
Next 4vyears we need these boys to make Australia a happy hunting ground! So maximum 5 more games down under before WC Australia kicks off! Blooding young players and getting these younger players used to the pressure of couldron rugby
I am surprised not to see Benjay in the squad after his performance last week. I think this selection is reckless and arrogant. The Wallabies will not be as weak as they were last week and Rassie is going to have some serious egg on his face if they don't get a good result.
This is what I call long term planning! Rassie, win or lose, is laying and sorting out his long-term plan for 2027 by 'Blooding' all players with talent and good prospects!
I am surprised. I hope this doesn’t backfire and hurt us. If we lose this match and then lose the Championship we will look back at this game. I also wonder how much the ABs losing to the Pumas influenced this decision. If they were also on 5-log points, then maybe Rassie wouldn’t have been so experimental.
Get Rassie's email or something and I'm sure he will explain to you very nicely. Since he's a father, I don't think he can fail you to understand. Same for all these others, doubting his decisions.
lol I remember when Sia was made captain everyone said he was shit and didn’t deserve to be in the side especially not captain, Salmaan is a slow burner like Sia was , he will be a bok legend , watch this space 😊
Five Bulls in the pack and Salmaan not yet up too it. Can they do it ? Time will tell but very risky. However the bench can save them, a better backup - Ox, Marx, Koch, Eben, Kwagga ! Backline up too it !
Those 'new' players will be ruthless and will go into savage mode to impress Rassie. I feel so sorry for Australia. My prediction (first time!) 27-16 to the Bokke.
I think Rassie is taking the players from last weekend back to SA to prepare for All Blacks.
💯
That would be a huge mistake, he doesn't have to be loyal to the old team. we need more of these young blood to face big games heard on while still early
@@zhuuzubenathi1988 I agree. As fans we must accept that the old guard is old and they've achieved back to back WCs, it's time to freshen up
Could be an option but they will be on stand by, so unlikely

Rassie just does it for the banter at this stage. Bloody legend 😂🐐
He's the GOAT
We have so many players, we need to make sure they all get game time. All of these plyers are better than their opposition in australia.
Maybe true but still a proud statement dude
On paper agree. but a lot of new combinations are being tested here, so current better performing player's might not equal better team on the day.
@@evanh8749 couldnt agree more, like Rassie has said before: Its not about choosing the best player, but the right player.
On paper this team should win but you never know what can happen
There is going to be a time where most of these experienced players will retire and Rassie will move on from Rugby...then we will talk about this being the best ever era of our sport...lets just enjoy it and appreciate Rassie and the boys, honestly one can even argue that this squad is better than the one who won the World cup i mean thats crazy😂Here is to The greatest era of springbok Rugby History 💯🔥

Rassie is the best at building depth... that's what sets S.A apart from all the other Rugby Playing countries in the World.
Master at his craft🔥🔥

Let Manie play 10 and give the responsibility to either Sasha or Pollard with kicking duty
They can do that is sasha is playing 15 or 12
Wouldn’t be surprised to see Cheslin playing scrum half again.
In a more experimental side like this, i fully expect him to try the front row!!!
Or even prop!

Inderdaad
Apart from 9 & 10 that whole backline has played in perth before at Super rugby or test level. Lukhanyo has played there at 12 for the sharks too.
I am glad that rassie give other players the opportunity to can show themself.

Second half, Pollard on in 13 position, Manie at 10 and Sacha moves to 15
That's a dom take. Pollard us terrible at defending and tackling, how on earth can he play 13
@@blaquenguni9249 that begs the question why would Rassie pick anyone who can't defend or tackle he is clearly looking to make the backline more versatile. Pollard will most likely slot in at 12, but the way things are going, it won't surprise me if he does at 13 and Ox kick for poles
Well done Rassie building for next world cup
Holy Guacamole.
I'm also nervous.
Kwaggamole😅
Don’t be nervous mate, this is australia
Moerat doesn't cut it for me. He is too average. Has shown no improvement in the Stomers teams😢😢😢
I suspect that rest are already in the air on the way back for the AB's
Manie at 10, and Pollard at 12, 55/60 minutes in is going to be fun to watch.
I just hope we don’t drop the ball like the Ireland 2nd Test, But I trust Rassie
In the short term a little concerned with this line up. In the long term love dishing out the experience. The bench lacks the physicallity. Guessing second half Grant comes in, Sacha moves to full back, Libbock at 10 and Pollard at 12, with either Am moving to 13 or coming off.
If it goes to plan how do you stop those guys in full flight?
About time Eben moves to the bench. They need to really start managing his game time. Want him to make the next world cup
Rassie is not a Dr by mistake, he knows more players need to be exposed to pressure at this level. After the semi final performance and 2nd Irish Test, he knows playing the same team twice has not always gone our way so why not take a chance on the youngers while giving them much needed game time with the eye on 2027. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous but we have the Extinction Squad on the bench should we need a plan B, it'll be tight but we should still win this game or lose with a bonus point as a worst case scenario
If the All Blacks won on Saturday against Argentina, then the team would've been different. He has this luxury now
You never have this luxury in the RC. Only thing keeping me going is my blind faith in Rassie 🤣
Next 4vyears we need these boys to make Australia a happy hunting ground! So maximum 5 more games down under before WC Australia kicks off! Blooding young players and getting these younger players used to the pressure of couldron rugby
I am surprised not to see Benjay in the squad after his performance last week.
I think this selection is reckless and arrogant. The Wallabies will not be as weak as they were last week and Rassie is going to have some serious egg on his face if they don't get a good result.
Ay my Cefani brother just pumping out good content 🙌🏻 keep it up Jords⛳️
Thanks brother 👊🏼
Delighted with Krappie
This is what I call long term planning! Rassie, win or lose, is laying and sorting out his long-term plan for 2027 by 'Blooding' all players with talent and good prospects!
I am surprised. I hope this doesn’t backfire and hurt us. If we lose this match and then lose the Championship we will look back at this game.
I also wonder how much the ABs losing to the Pumas influenced this decision. If they were also on 5-log points, then maybe Rassie wouldn’t have been so experimental.
Good point; the NZ-Argentina result probably did affect the selection!
Salmaan Moerat is not Springbok quality and why is Pieter Steph not the captain.
moerat has been captain his entire career for a reason
Good thing you're not the coach.
Get Rassie's email or something and I'm sure he will explain to you very nicely. Since he's a father, I don't think he can fail you to understand. Same for all these others, doubting his decisions.
Moerat is not captain material. You will see on Saturday.
@@user-wq4tu7zh9m So Rassie is wrong? Won back to back World Cup titles but you know better than he does? Okay then...
Yip, a change is as good as a holiday, even the AB and Arg. R asking, now who is the actual springbok, Dr. R & Mr Brown, keep them guessing!
Our bench is our Insurance policy. The best time to give our new guys experience. 😅
lol I remember when Sia was made captain everyone said he was shit and didn’t deserve to be in the side especially not captain, Salmaan is a slow burner like Sia was , he will be a bok legend , watch this space 😊
You called it!! 😂🎉
😎
Where are the Souties and the lucky charms? Hahahaha
Salmaan Moerat captained all of the age groups he played in. He is a good captain
I don't care if he is a good captain. He's not a good player.
@Jordan Buhrs rugby...i almost thought it was Hugh Bladen giving commentary.
The match again the Ausie..our forwards were brutal...Rassie is giving the m a break just in time for the All Blacks game
Five Bulls in the pack and Salmaan not yet up too it. Can they do it ? Time will tell but very risky. However the bench can save them, a better backup - Ox, Marx, Koch, Eben, Kwagga !
Backline up too it !
Sheesh that backline looks awfully deadly to me...might be a trashing come saturday.
Those 'new' players will be ruthless and will go into savage mode to impress Rassie. I feel so sorry for Australia. My prediction (first time!) 27-16 to the Bokke.
