The Team for the first test against the Lions is a shocker!

I'll start off with good news, Heinrich Brussow has been called up to Springbok duty. The bad news, it's due to the injury sustained by star flanker Schalk Burger. But the nightmares keep getting worse. Peter Devilliers has managed to mess the Springbok team up beyond repair. John Smit has been put at prop, which, as proved in the Super 14 by some terrible performances, he just can not play. The always over-rated Bismarck comes in at number 2, probably because our line outs are so good they needed to make it fair to the lions. Painful Pienaar who knocks-on, miss-passes and shanks the ball beyond redemption comes in at number 10 ahead of the quick, skilled and actually hand-eye coordinated Morne Steyn. Somehow, JP Pietersen has passed Natal U12's and has made the Boks. And of course, put the most incapable of making a single decision at fullback, a position where you make all the decisions. Frans Steyn has made the starting XV at the position he's worst at. Well done Peter DeVilliers! No offence to Adi Jacobsm but, how the hell is Jaque Fourie not in the starting XV? Fourie and Jean DeVilliers - that's like a dream centre combination, which Peter DeVilliers is obviously far too stupid to realise. There is one good thing, with this team, at least the Lions encounter will be a close one. 'Cause you know, God forbid if we actually put in our best team instead of one depicted on race and politics, we'd murder the Lions. The Sharks have a dreadful backline yet 4 out of the 7 backs are Sharks!!! Are you kidding me?!

THE PROPER BACKLINE:
10. Morne Steyn
11. Bryan Habana
12. Jean DeVilliers
13. Adi Jacobs
14. Jongi Nokwe
15. Jaque Fourie (Despite the Fourie - DeVilliers dream team. This is because idiotic coach Peter Devilliers didn't choose a first-positioned fullback (Terblanche, Ludik, Kirchner?)
