South Africa are due to take on the All Blacks this Saturday for their second test against their bitter rivals in the Rugby Championship.

A lot of people are taking about Siya Kolisi back as captain and Eben Etzebeth not even in the squad!

Wow, wow, wow. Dropping Etzebeth is a shocker but even bigger is dropping Pollard. Both legends not even on the bench. Wow

@RassieRugby To be fair rassie made the right call. There are a few veterans just not performing at the moment. Team looks on point. I might would have liked Pollard on the bench as a cover option but the players need to make the step up. Looking forward to it

Interesting choices. A bit of a gamble but I think its time to see what the youngsters can do under immense pressure. It’s been 2 years since the start of tye @rugbyworldcup
and it’s a challenging time

Big calls…. what do you have to lose, except another game?

My concern is that now RSA put a Hooker on the wing, which is way too close to the crowd.

Drunk kiwis can’t behave if a Hooker is within reach
