Experience will be gained by these players up to the world cup by playing now in every major tournament ... super rugby ... end of year inbound and outbound tours ... playing for the springboks at international level ...

I would personally be happier loosing most games up to the world cup giving these players the game time and experience they need to bring us the webb ellis trophy in 2019 ... build this team up for the next 4 years ... drop the old players ... PLAY these younger men ... results im sure will come ...

We cant play any worse than what we are now with a coaching staff uncertain of what type of rugby they want our boys to play ... best coaches are needed ... and personally at the moment we dont have that at all ... CURRIE CUP to INTERNATIONAL rugby. Coaches i believe should of played the game at the highest level INTERNATIONALLY themselves or atleast bloody played rugby to start with.

BUT WHAT THE HELL DO I KNOW ... i am just a supporter ...

If I could choose the 2019 sa World Cup Squad ....

We as sa rugby supporters sit on the couch week in and week out and scream for our team ... We pretend to know which players "are best" and act like we actually know which players "should be" playing in our national team . black or white who ever is best and inform should be selected for the sa team .

Well, here is what I think our Springbok squad should be ... (Take Note that this is my personal opinion) ...

I have also selected who I feel (in my personal opinion) should be part of the coaching staff team for the Springbok setup now and for the world cup ... basically get rid of who we have now as the coaching setup ... head coach included ... ' pick the best ' we have to run and select and coach our beloved springbok team .

I don't believe in the kak quota system that SARFU is trying to slowly enforce ... Pick on bloody merit and who would actually be young enough to play in the 2019 world cup ...  Not those who would be retired long before. We truly have a huge selection of players inform at the moment who deserve a chance on the international scene . Pick the best players we have at the moment and give them game time and experience .

Experience is gained from on-field play time not sitting on the touchline or in the stands watching ... The SA selectors pick experience over raw talent, basically every time. An experienced player would get picked over an inform better inexperienced player due to them not having the balls to give our young guns game time ...

Hence every bok team having older and slower players in it cause experience is all that counts for our selectors ... How the hell do we groom young blood and give them experience if they are not given the opportunity to play or get that experience ... !
