Ja its sort of ok - its an old injury.......playing cricket does not help.....when you try klap the ball out the ground.
Talking of cricket, I was watching Durham vs Yorkshire today and it was really strange seeing two of SA's great keepers sons both playing for Durham......Ray Jennings son opens the batting and Dave Richardson's son bats at 5......have these youngsters turned their backs on SA? I think Keplers son also plays out here

Two things I want to add. I was watching IPL cricket and Quinton de Kock is playing hot cricket - he is playing for Delhi and is on contract with them for 6 weeks earning $583 000 for the 6 weeks. There are 14 SA cricketers participating contracted by various teams, The most expensive players like Dale Steyn and AB de Villiers is paid $1 100 000 for the 6 weeks. Kallis is also contracted for $980 000, but he has been dropped for the team of Kolkatta - not good enough anymore.
Now back to the JWC Rugby. I know the team picked by you is the best - but there is no chance that they would play them - since the quota system will not allow for it, However, I think Duhan van der Merwe. Du Plessis and Van Rensburg played in the Argenina game because of the squad players having other commitments on senior level. Theron made a serious mistake about leaving especially van der Merwe and Du Plessis out of the squad. Both scored 2 tries against the Junior Pumas.
The ne xt match is tomorrow and I think the same team has been selected for that game. .

Thanks for the team - I hope they are convincing tomorrow as the first team was I am still not happy about Duhan van der Merwe. He was by far the best player in that age group and has proven it - but Theron is obstinate about selections and is going to look foolish again in future.
There is a third match - I think on Friday and I suppose they will ahve a different team again for that match.
