RWC Squads Form or Reputation?

RWC squads mostly have a lot of experienced players the Boks boasts nearly 1300 caps for example.The Squad bears very little
resemblance to the RC one[Surprise Surprise ].The injured have a miracle cure there squad has some notable omissions
to me any way.No flip Van der Merwe,Heinrich Broussow,Frans Steyn,and most notably Cobus Reinach,there Squad has many
very experienced players no surprise there for cynics like me.
A lot of these are there on reputation having not played in a Bok shirt this year plus a 38 year Lock [Great though he was/is?]
NZ have yet to name there squad and several players with only one match at test level are likely bolters over experienced
players who have proved they can do it at test level.
A RC which in RWC year seems to mean little to NZ/SA is one thing but in a knock out Tournament?

Up to six of those Boks selected are still injured I heard Allan. Quite a number. Think it's a two horse race between who the oldest sides will be. ABs or Boks.
