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.
The depth chart

Aweh! Selection meeting: right here, right now
Your ballot
Your first choice for each position, boet. Can’t find your player? Choose “Someone else” and write them in (not on the Bomb Squad, that one’s squad-list only). One vote per position per fan per week, so make it count. You can also vote one jersey at a time from the Pick your position tiles on the home page.

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.

Selectors’ chirp box
Just be nice, dont be a d#~k!!
Banter yes, abuse no. No swearing (we know, we know), no politics or race stuff, no links or selling, no personal info, and be lekker to the other side’s fans. The ref’s decision is final. The full braai rules
Join the scrum to comment
Reading is free for everyone. To chirp you need to register once, so we all know who’s who at the braai. Takes 20 seconds.
Check your email, boet
We’ve sent a link to confirm it’s you. Tap it and you can chirp. Nothing there? Check spam, or use “Email me a sign-in link”.
Red card
The ref has sent you off, so the chirp box is closed for you. Think it’s a mistake? Ask through the contact form.
No chirps yet. Be the first one in the ruck!
