WELL, THERE IT IS PEOPLE
Heyneke Meyer has named his 31 players to do duty at the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England and Wales starting on September 18.
For sure there'll be tears of joy - and those of happiness.

MALLETT WONDERS ABOUT BRITS
With Bismarck and Adriaan sure to start shouldn't we be looking to 2019 and take Scarra Ntubeni instead?

NO WHITELEY
No Warren Whiteley either... which makes sense as there are ZERO Lions players in the squad

NOT A SINGLE LIONS PLAYER!
Breakdown:
Sharks (7), WP (6), Bulls (6), Cheetahs (3)
Other 9 overseas-based - and shouldn't have been pick (IMHO)
