Let them get game time
These ballies have been coached in this fashion so will struggle to change which will be a headache for Nienaber and the team.
They can get some rest and prepare for the NH tour and use their gameplan over there more successfully.
It's hard to watch your union struggle because all your top players are scrum and tackle bags for Rassie's starting side

Bro, if the All Blacks were pulling this shit to slow the game down we'd all be screaming blue murder.
Moody caused a lot of scrum resets and penalties after Fat Frans dominated him. Now he blame the Springboks. This is the kak you lot read and troll all over the place.Moody also enjoyed the scrum battle. “They’re big, powerful men and the different aspects of the technicalities they bring also challenges, as well as the pure power and size of them. It’s always a good challenge,” he said.
But it can also be a frustrating one when the scrum calls are going against you, as they were at times on Saturday with English referee Luke Pearce.
“We know their tightheads like to angle in and attack our hookers, that sort of carry on,” said Moody of the Boks’ scrum approach. “Even the way they set up on the bind, put a bit of lean-through with their No 8s firing early to trigger their scrum … there are technicalities that are different but unless you really love scrummaging, it’s probably going to bore you.”

The National team takes precedent over your fokon provincial unions troubles. It's not the Springboks fault if the sharks don't have enough depth. If the sharks does not want to give up their players, perhaps SARU should pull their funding. Maybe, to satisfy supporters like you, the Sharks should include a clause in it's player contract, that if you play for them you cant be picked for the national team.

Shitty selections : Rosco Specman, Rynhardt Elstadt, Fat Frans, Damian Willemse
Jesse Kriel, the Dup brothers and maybe even Cobus Reinach could have added an extra dimenstion.
Dweba, Grant Williams and Ox Nche need to be given some serious game time at EOYT. And what the heck, give Elton a few tests. Worst case scenario he flakes and we can use the evidence to bin him forever. Best case scenario he shows his worth as a steady hand and we can use him as a backup for another couple of years.

Elton is rubbish. He's such an emotional player, he makes one mistake and the rest of his game goes to shit. There was a game we played a few years back that I watched with my BIL. I told my BIL just before Elton's first kick at post that if he misses we'll lose. Sure as fok he missed and sure as fok we lost. He had a terrible game after that first kick, he miss fielded a high kick with no defender in sight, he knocked a pass, He threw a forward pass and kicked out on the full. It was a horror show. Every time the ball looked to go in his direction we yelled "fokon Elton" before he could even make the fokop and like a finely engineered swiss watch, every time he foked it op.

Flyhalf has been the Springboks weakest position since 1992. Honiball was a great runner and defender but average off the tee and as a tactical kicker. Stransky was fairly well rounded but probably overrated. Morne had and has a golden boot but is frankly a carthorse.
If we had uncovered a Dan Carter in 2010 our results would have been vastly different.
