I agree with you about 2 o the hree playes, However, if Hooker is chosen to play at 13 he would be a star. Lryt you remind you of Jesse Kriel who played fr the Under 20 junior boks and was moved to 13 where h e ebcame an excellent player, I think the same applies to three other younger playes namely Hooker, Kriel and Van yk. Nihr pf the are physical enough to play at 12 - but have the pace and abiliies to follow te Jesse Kriel example.

I'm for one finally happy to see the SA teams live up to their potential. Firstly, I only saw the highlights as I wasn't going to fork out 9 euro per game to watch while I'm in the Canaries, that said. It would have been money well spent.
First up, well done Booools, they managed to avoid the Glasgow kiss (headbutt). Were in complete control game of the game.
The Lions saw of the Can Naughts , but wasn't a clear run away game.
Stompies, well what can I say about Sacha, he is at the heart of everything the Stormers do right. Gets clipped in the air, but without hesitation, taps the ball and put DDP away for a try.
Then we go to the Saarks and the Ulcers, first half the guppies looked dead, but they came back well towards the end of the first half and then just kept going.
The Bools and Saarks probably had the toughest games of the weekend but it is great to see them get full marks.
Then spare a thought for the plucky Welsh side that saw of Leinster. Their defence got ripped apart by some fantastic pace by the backline to cut them apart. Looked like Leenster put out a sub par team again given they already secured top spot and securing their team for the play off run
Nice to see the young guns delivering back to back weekends. SFM, Jan Henrik and Ethan Hooker. I want to see these guys on the park for the boks
