The reason why Kwagga plays, the breakdowns are key against IRE, you have to get maximum minutes out of Kwagga and Siya as starters and and from the bench you can bring on Eskom and Marx to attack the breakdowns. It is just a tactical selection. Anyway experience counts in these tight games.

Its amazing how the coaching staff proves to us time and time again that we need to trust their selection especially after watching Chasing the sun...but you still get fans who do not respect the thinking behind the selection. Evan roos still needs to work on being more of a team player than being a lone wolf. Faf - he has proven himself .. i dont understand the disrespect. Mampimpi - he has done his part but the current form of other wingers is too hot to handle. Sasha - The boy has something, lets see Morat - personally im not sure but i trust Rassie Kamp - Not sure him being ahead of Trevor but i would love to see him

Kwagga for the breakdown. Suppose he plays the full 80, bringing on Marx and Van Staden gives the Boks a massive edge. BREAKDOWN BREAKDOWN BREAKDOWN!!!! Everything else comes later. Ireland need to start exceptionally well or else the Boks will run away with it in the second half.

We must also look at 4 years time. So a couple are being blooded. Slowly but surely we need to blood a couple at a time into the squad against top opposition. Probably Roos should have been on the bench for that reason. But overall it seems to be a well balanced team.

@@donniehendricks6772 RG is the enforcer sub… Salmaan is very tactical and a nuisance on defence and breakdown. He knows how to slow opposition ball down without getting pinged. He usually takes 2-3 defenders down with him and stats wise he gains a lot of meters. Always gets over the advantage line. It’s because he is just so reliable that he is overlooked.
