Should the Junior Springboks keep their best team intact, or rest a few players for their next World Rugby Under-20 Championship clash?
That is the biggest conundrum facing South Africas coach Bafana Nhleko after watching his team dispatch Fiji 57-7 in their tournament opener at the Cape Town Stadium on Saturday night.
The Junior Boks had a few hiccups early on, but their dominance up front eventually told as they scored eight tries to one to set the tone for the rest of the campaign. But there is a short turnaround time before their second match against Argentina, as they face the South Americans on Thursday at the Danie Craven Stadium in Stellenbosch.
That is followed by another five-day period before their biggest game in Pool C, against England at the Athlone Stadium, with the Six Nations Under-20 champions having beaten Argentina 40-21 on Saturday. Only the top team in each of the three pools is guaranteed a semi-final spot, with the best second-placed team advancing as well.
Nhleko was satisfied with the Junior Boks display against Fiji, but knows that they can get even better.
