Thats a strong forwards crew with plenty backup there. I think Stormers under Schalk could do better this year in the finals – if they dont lose too many to injury getting there.
Ooohhh jeeezzzz – does Schalk Burger even deserve to be there ???
What happened to their Canadian?
Can someone do the same as last year where we see the SA squads with player movements. Which teams got players in from where & who they have lost & to whom. Very interesting to see how players and teams are made up
@Dunx (Comment 4) : eish…. that kinda thing takes time… I can try though, when I have a quiet moment
