He is still considered a key member of the squad, and unless injured will be picked, however he used to be a nailed-on starter when fit and that is not the case anymore.
Although Moerat has plenty of work to do to put pressure on first choice lock Eben Etzebeth, he can certainly make a statement against Portugal.The Boks have yet to address their problems at hooker and Johan Grobbelaar has a golden opportunity to stake a claim this weekend. The Boks heavily rely on Bongi Mbonambi and Malcolm Marx, but still have no clear third choice player in the position.
Libbok has decent utility value, with him able to play fullback and inside centre outside of his preferred flyhalf position. However, the Bok management feel Feinberg-Mngomezulu is more comfortable featuring in those roles, which has seen him get picked ahead of Libbok when they have gone with the 6-2 bench split.The powerful loose forward has been bubbling under for a couple of seasons now and needs to take his opportunity against Portugal.
