Pace, Power, Precision, Poise, Partnership: How This Springbok Team Was Selected | Lekker Rugby Pod

Why Salmaan Moerat? Of all the calls in the Springbok team to face Italy, it’s the one everyone is arguing about. Harry Jones runs Rassie Erasmus’s selection through his five Ps framework: pace, power, precision, poise and partnership. Pace and power have never been the question. The real test sits in the last three, where the Boks came unstuck in Perth, and Harry’s election-board breakdown shows where this side leans on proven combinations and where it still has work to do. In this episode: The five Ps breakdown of the Springbok team to face Italy Why Moerat got the nod ahead of Franco Mostert and the in-form locks back home Whether the Bulls’ style is costing their players Bok selection The case for Jacques Nienaber returning to run the Bok defence MW and Harry also get into the brakefoot debate at scrum time and what the Nations Championship means for bonus points and points difference.
