Oh the Bok forwards will come into this, as i said earlier most have 9 & 10 selected with mostly backs so far.

Do not mention names that have not been picked.

Yeah, then he realised your forwards won't win you any ball so it's pretty academic who you have back there.

We'll see Nick, we'll see

this is getting extremely difficult now. I think all my potential centres are gone nearly, and my captains!

Guys where are the quick, strong, mobile props? If you're going to pick South Africans don't pick Francios Pienaar look to our strengths.

Christ, gizza minute mate - we've only had four rounds!

There are loads of good props and a lot of them who can play both sides an all - no pressure yet on that tip I'd argue. We're still sweeping up 'the greats' aren't we? Get the freaks out of the way and then box clever.

This, i think the backs are near done with the Greats and some forwards but very little in the friont row picked, lotta time to go yet.

Every team will have 4 greats, 4 class players and 7 very very good players, its just how to deploy them in areas is the thing.

Don't say that, I've only picked 2 backs so far.

So tricky to decide whether to put all your eggs in one basket and go big in one key area or try and spread the quality around but risk being a little spread to thin.

Do we get a chance to give our team a write up to try and make a case for why they'll win?

Can't agree with that - there are loads of phenomenal backs still available!

Most of my choices are still there, although there's 8 more picks (or something) still to come until my pick - they could all be gone by then!

One sentimental pick's in there cos I saw the lad play against North and Midlands when I was a nipper, and he I can remember the skills to this day. Haven't seen a player like him since.

Sarge · « **Reply #345 on:** March 22, 2012, 02:42:16 PM »
