Peter De Villiers is a new man. Or they have stripped him of all decision-making powers and he truly is a ridiculous sock-puppet controlled by John Smit's insane alter-ego.
No changes, except Olivier gets booted from the bench to make room for Pienaar (but not Ricky Januarie, who De Villiers claims proved his worth in his 2 minutes off the bench... which is positively sane for PdV!)
Morne gets another shot at proving his value beyond his kicking game. Habana and Pieterson are crying softly inside, knowing they have to spend another 80 minutes running like mad after up-and-unders hoping for a good bounce; the only possible way they are ever going to touch the ball.
I for one am glad of no changes, considering I have zero transfers left. Now I have to hope my Aussie predictions were correct, or my world ranking will slide even further. If you have the transfers and money, buy Australian backs - they'll score more TR points even though they're in for a thrashing. At least their wingers have a chance of getting the ball.
