8 Ernst Joubert, 7 Justin Melck, 6 Wikus van Heerden (c)

No wonder Dicky boy Muir is kakking his pants, he knows deep in his gut this back row is far better than the one he’s brought along.

#10 grant10: So how do you know that. It is only a rumour with no facts except that the Lions are after him. He is contracted for another year, so, yea, you are wrong

#10 grant10: Thanks Grant, great player who always played his heart out. Stuck with the Lions through some of the darkest days. I sure hope things improve at the Lions and Wikus gets to enjoy some of the good times back in Jo'burg.

I wish Wikus would come back to the Lions, we could do with some of his experience and attitude.

Hmm, quite nervous about this. Muir probably feels the same.

Does the Saracens stadium PA also play “Liefling” when Derick flukes a drop?

Barrit to be the chief destroyer.

This will be a good game. I hope the SA dirt tackers do better, infact i hope some of the players play themselves into the A side. The A side players look pap tired and so they should be, helluva a year they have had and most of them should be at home resting.

#2 WakaNathan: Definately, but this is not typical of a sarries side. There are normally only 4 South Africans in the starting line-up (Brits, Van Heerdan, Joubert and De Kock, also Barritt but he is now 'english'). Sarries have put up all of their saffas as an opportunity to let them play their countrymen, so they should be more motivated. It could also be a marketing ploy to attract expats living in London. Also, Sarries have a big match against Wasps on saturday, so they are resting players for that. Only 8 players here are in the ideal sarries 1st XV (Gill, Vyvyan, Van Heerden, Joubert, De Kock, Barritt, Ratouvu and Cato). Sarries normally have between 8 and 10 english players starting, so they arent totally South African! An english club with a distinctly South African flavour, which sounds like a good recipe to me!

You would think there will be some fairly motivated players for the SA-racens.

Should be an easy win for the saffas.
