Willie le Roux or Warrick Galant? Who should be Springbok flyhalf for upcoming Tests?

Cape Town - With the Springboks’ Test schedule for the Incoming Series and Rugby Championship confirmed recently, what would the team look like for the first Test against Wales on July 2?

Well, there’s still a long way to go to that Loftus Versfeld clash, but let’s look at a possible match-23 if Jacques Nienaber had to field a side for a Test tomorrow – largely based on current form.

15 Warrick Gelant

Willie le Roux is on borrowed time in the Bok side, and when Warrick Gelant is in such irresistible form for the Stormers, he cannot be ignored. Aphelele Fassi was with the national squad last year, and has played well for the Sharks, but Gelant has been outstanding.

14 Cheslin Kolbe

The World Cup star finally made his debut for new French club Toulon recently, and is ready to rock ’n roll once more. Also, there haven’t been any serious challengers to his No 14 jersey, with Sbu Nkosi not seeing much of the ball for the Sharks.

13 Lukhanyo Am

That’s it, that’s the pick!

12 André Esterhuizen

Damian de Allende has been on the sidelines since January 1 with hip and groin problems, and is in doubt for Munster’s Champions Cup playoffs in April.

André Esterhuizen has been on fire for Harlequins this year, and won three Man of the Match awards in January. He also played alongside Am at the Sharks previously.

11 Makazole Mapimpi

The Bok try-scoring machine hasn’t stopped dotting down for the

Sharks either.

10 Manie Libbok

Okay, okay, let me explain … Handre Pollard has not played any rugby this year.

Since his Maldives holidays in December following the November Tests, the Bok No 10 returned to his French club Montpellier, and has not featured in games against Leinster, Exeter, La Rochelle and Pau, and missed yesterday’s clash
