Team selection – I think it is time we leave Habanna out, based on his current form. Never thought I’d say it, however sad/true.
No doubt Jaque is the best 13 in the world, but I reckon we can win the WC if we move Jaque to 14, Jean to 13 and leave Frans on 12. Frans is again playing awesome rugby, as he did last time, on 12.
