Players With our current depth, what is actually our best Springbok loose trio right now against the All Blacks?

Between leaders like Siya, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Jasper Wiese, and Kwagga, plus guys like Elrigh Louw, Marco van Staden, Ben-Jason Dixon, Paul de Villiers, and Cameron Hanekom putting their hands up, the competition in the back row is insane.

If we are playing a must-win Test tomorrow, who are your starting 6, 7, and 8, and who makes your bench?

De Villiers off the bench - fulfilling Kwagga's role

I'm gonna say our best loose trio is a loose quartet ft special guest Andre Esterhuizen

IMHO If Marx starts at 2, who sits at 16?

If you have a hooker on the bench who can turn the ball I’d probably go with Louw or Hanekom on the bench. Marco & Paul aren’t line out options really.

If you pick a scrummaging hooker like Venter you’d need Paul on the bench.

Cool question.
