In Sport24's online poll, some 59% were disappointed with the make-up of Heyneke Meyer's 31-man team for their end of year tour.
Sport24 asked:
What do you think of Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer's squad for the end-of-year European tour?
This was the response:
41% - It's a well balanced squad with youth and experience.
59% - The coach has chosen the wrong players once again.
Other players that Sport24 readers thought were unlucky not to receive Springbok call-ups were Sharks duo Keegan Daniel and Louis Ludik, as well as Lions prop JC Janse van Rensburg.
Here's what Sport24 readers had to say about Heyneke Meyer's Springbok squad:
"What about Deon Fourie?" - Shane Moses
"As a proud Springbok supporter I just hope the 32nd player spot that's still vacant they can take Deon Fourie with otherwise I'm happy with Heyneke Meyer's selection." - Leon Onverwag
"Why did they not pick Deon Fourie? We need ball fetchers and he certainly did prove himself at hooker and at flank." - HL Opperman
"Still no fetcher? Would have given Deon Fourie a chance." - kagiso.k.seleka
"Deon Fourie is the next Brussouw......we need a good fetcher!" - michale.hendricke.58
"Deon Fourie played his heart out to be a Bok" - george.barnard.144
"Pity about Deon Fourie. He is Springbok and captain material." - johan.deventer.66974
"What about a quality player like Deon Fourie? Why isn't he in the Springbok team?" - NEHEMIAHCape Town
"Would have liked to see Fourie, Joe Pietersen or La Roux, but surely Keegan was a given?" - Ollie
"Fourie can play as a loose forward and a hooker while Chiliboy cant even play hooker properly!" - gerhard.smit.526
"I mean if he choose Deon then there wouldn't be place for Arno Botha and he is a Bull!" - stephen.alexander.96
