Weekly fan vote

The Bok Barometer.

Howzit, selector! You pick the Boks, position by position, and the fans’ votes rank every spot 1 to 5. One vote per position per fan per week, Monday to Sunday (the voting week runs on UK time, wherever you vote from). Rassie may or may not be checking. Ja-nee.

Selectors: you. Pressure: jislaaik.

This week

This week’s vote

Pick your first choice for each spot below. Can’t decide on a tighthead? Shame, skip it. We won’t tell your braai group. The depth chart moves live, and on Monday morning this week’s chart is frozen as last week’s final. Sharp-sharp.

Voting closes Sunday 23:59 UK time.

No login needed. To keep it fair-ish we store a salted, one-way hash of your connection and a cookie, so we can count one vote per position per fan per week. Positions you’ve already voted for this week are greyed out. We never store your name or your IP address. See the privacy notice.

The Bok Selector League

Reckon you’re a better selector than the selectors? Join the league and your weekly votes (XV plus the Bomb Squad) become your picks. When the real matchday 23 is named, we score everyone: 3 points for the right player in the right jersey, 1 point if he starts somewhere else, 1 point for every bench player you nailed. Locks count as a pair, the bench as a set.

Picks lock when the team is announced (or at kick-off, whichever comes first). Only your nickname and score are ever shown. Never your name or email.
