Springbok RWC squad instils confidence

The Springbok World Cup squad was very predictable. I made accurate predictions about the players before the final squad was announced.

Seeing Jake White needed only three centre-backs, it was hard choosing between Waylon Murray and Wynand Olivier. Many say Bob Skinstad's time has passed, but his experience and leadership skills may be advantageous for the Boks.

People will always complain about the lack of players of colour in the squad and the fact that four of them were chosen for the dull wing position, but I have confidence in this team.
