During the selection of our " SA Schools Team of the decade" we realised the abundance of talent available to South Africa which simply disappears.
Please note that we only took into account those players that were selected for the SA Schools team from 2011 - 2019. There were definately some unlucky players who did not make the cut and we will do a program and the end of this series.
We made a shortlist first and then after a lot of discussions we decided on our team of the decade.
Follow our discussions regarding our centres, wings and fullbacks as selected for our "Team of the Decade".
