Heyneke's aging Springboks

I would like commenting on these overseas based players.all of whom are 30 plus.I think it's grossly unfair to the players plying their trade in South Africa.what will happen worldcup time is that these older players won't keep up with the pace of the game.why is Heyneke Meyer not blooding the younger players? He can't pick these elder statesmen everytime the boks play
In my opinion this will backfire seriously on SA come worldcup time.He's picking these guys so that he can have n good win loose ratio.So mark my words down in your dictionary.Springboks will suffer with inexperienced players worldcup time.! Enjoy it while they can.And this is from an concerned All Black fan !!!
