Bokbarometer after the weekend

Taute better than Mvovo.....no way Jose....but I know where you are coming from.
I love the Mapoe touch when Small Smith was better, always protecting JJ....it's got to be love.
Stepfontein, all 11 metres in 8 runs obviously impressed you....but no concern that Hendricks exposed his tortoise pace?  

 What did Taute, de Alende or JP do to oust Willie this weekend? Did not see the Bulle, cheeters game, did Willie not play?

Small-Smith did absolutely nothing to merit selection.....the toss up for 13 was between Mapoe and Sadie......Small-Smith did not come close, but he was better than useless de Jongh . My guess is that you did not even see the Lions game, for if you had, it would be hard to have missed the Mapoe breaks.

Yes Taute was better than Mvovo, who was also good.

Serfontein had the best break by any SA centre all weekend......he showed his class

There is no issue with Serfontein's pace, never has been.......evidenced by stints on the wing for the Boks.......this sounds about as accurate at JP having lost pace.......that was blown out of the water this weekend

How did your boy de Jongh play........what was it 1 tackle made, 3 missed.......man you do know how to choose them......I used to say de Jongh was better than Adi but he is fast proving that theory wrong

My Bokbarometer side is spot on - has stuff all to do with protecting players

You are taking a few liberties here.  Both De Allende. and Pietersen played at 14.  If that be the case De Allende was better than Pietersen.  
If strictly going on the position numbers and taking the 11's on display I prefer Le Roux or Van Wyk in that position.  Both were in fact very good.
There was nothing much on display at center this weekend.  However at 13 Jordaan showed some very good touches and his defense was good - that despite the fact that he was playing outside of the non-functional Steyn and Williams.   

 Willie and Allende the two wings. Cant comment re FB as didnt see Sharks game but Movo was going well when last I saw. Draad, Willie was brilliant for the Cheet as playing on the wing.
Benjamin and Sadie look like being a better combo than Serfontein and Mapoe. Jean of course should be there but he was not going that well and was injured.
Understand problem between Marcell and Malherbe. With Flip, Etzebeth, Lood, Bressler and Du Toit out are we down to Rhodes - works hard.Cant imagine Deysel outplaying Schalk!
Hougaard is starting to attack and get involved - will watch where this is going.Pollard was calm and impressive - another very nice WP export!

 I am not too bothered which sides the wings played, I just picked the two best wings.
