Woohoo, can you get any better starts? But can we hold on to this advantage?

The trick is to now press home the advantage and not let them off the hook in any way. The clash of the quota teams.

The white guys are quota players also.

Why were the good white players left out? Have they all left for England?

Has SA ever been good at U-19 level though. Apart from the last one?

Kriterion, how are you deciding who's a white guy and who isn't? In the bad old apartheid days if you had just a dash of colour you were deemed unworthy and your pass book redirected you to the blacks only section. I'm guessing Smith is a white dude and Whitehead (would be great to have a Blackhead in that side!), but after that there are no guarantees.
I know a few of the better players in SA and they aren't in this line up. Cullinan is openly contemptuous of the selection and I'm certain will be censured shortly.

Primarily Im going by surnames. But Ive seen smith, veryenne, mulder, and whitehead in the game vs BD.
