I start to lead toward Rob Du Preez for the Bok 10 spot.
De Allende having one good game does not nearly provide enough evidence that he has un-donkeyed himself.
Just a point of interest...Isn't it odd how our franchises start playing more positively and overnight it seems every position in the backline has ample viable candidates.
Reveals a small bit of the sporting traversty that our SA coaches have inflicted on South African rugby since the late 2000s.
Regardless the fire is lit and it would be tough for any coach seeking to regress.
The way Nobbis is currently viewed by many Bills fans is a good indicator of how the mindset in SA is changing.
I unfortunately have numerous friends who are Bulls fans and who know much less about the game than most on this site. When speaking to them it's clear that they want to see the Bulls play more like the Lion's and Stormers.
It's a shame that we'll all too soon forget what Akkers and Cois did for rugby in SA.

I did not say one good game by De Allede convinced me that he belongs in the Stormers team - I said that the good game indicates that he may be back to starting playing positive rugby after being confined by Meyer and Coetzee to crashballing. I am not sure whether De Allende will maintain that level of performance - but he should be given a chance to prove that he is making a comeback to the level of performance he showed for t he Stormers in 2014.

Pakie you have just made my point very eloquently. Different even whacko opinions are fine.....deliberate lying is not. Mike used to be a decent poster back ten or so years ago, now he he lies without any shame. That brings down the level of debate to simple fact checking, rather than opinion sharing. Wasteful.

The only one that lie shamelessly about rugby is you. You lie about what happens ionm the field of play by totally misleading opinions expressed by you - that relates to lies on your art. There is yet a single incident in games not distorted by you. Fools flourish in their own opinion and that remains you.
