So lets look at the performances this past weekend. As is becoming normal Morne Steyn was on the bench of Stade Francais and was only allowed onto the field of play for three minutes before the end of the game. However, surprisingly Stade Francais did beat Toulon and that is probably the reason why the Club did not take any chances by bringing Morne on earlier.
Fat Fransie started at flyhalf for Montpellier. Montpellier lost the game against Brive and that was a shocker. Fat Fransie statistically had a decent game bar the aimless kicking he is known for, The question remains - why was he replaced at minute 57?

I did not mention any names of any members - now did I? I expressed an opinion on the Steyns and their suitability for Springbok selection after their respective weekend games.
What is wrong with that?

Now then Ou Makkie you know Morne is the only flyhalf that has troubled our chaps lo these many years .Pollard flared brightly for a wee bit but has fallen by the wayside it seems and one of the few wins of note for die Bokke last year was when your boys beat the Aussies using Mornes boot ! Lambie it seems is just another pretty face and Jantjes Jangly Ju Ju gets the better of him on the big stage .No kidding that metronomic boot of his used ter drive me nuts !

Wardad, SA has a pretty tall scrap heap for 10s & not too many choices. IMO Pollard has to be in the mix. You can't go from hero to zero like some say he did. Just give him time as that's just good player management & see what he has to offer, that's my take on it.
Of course CleverMike started this thread to bait some of his beloved SA posters (one in particular). One poster in particular did not take the bait

Glad to know I'm not the only one thinking that Mike was baiting.

CM, who do you rate the top six at #10 in world rugby and your top six in RSA.

It is a difficult question and I am going to give the internationals not necessarily in the order of preference:-
S exton, Barrett, Cruden, Ford, Sanchez, Biggar
Farrell has not played at flyhalf for a while now and I did not include him in the list.
Insofar as SA flyhalfs is concerned Based on present performances are -
Lambie, Goosen, Du Plessis, Du Preez, Zeilinga, Pollard, Jantjies
