Bronco is a very impressive player. His footwork is amazing and one wonders how he will go in the 15 man code. Ditto Kolbe both look  to be very good prospects at scrummie. 


That noodle Alistair will doubtless play Kolbe on the wing and a potential great will be lost.

Mastiert has genuine pace but again is he physical enough for rugby.


I hear Corniel Hendricks will be with the cheetahs this year and one wishes him well. Also explosive pace and hopefully will handle the physical side of the game.

Bronco is a 7's specialist, he wont play 15's.

Hendricks will be a good addition to the Cheetahs and yes Kolbe will remain on the wing.

Mastriet is good, but has been exposed defensively at times, but that should improve playing 7's. He looked good for the Bulls the few times he played.

 Cecil Africa has played great sevens for years now. His tackling is surprsing effective for such a slighjt guy. Also wonder if he could have played flyhalf in the 15 man code.
Trouble generally is these guys cant handle the phycical side of rugby. Hendricks is reasonably big so he should cope. Kolbe is brillaint but size is a bit against him. He does however get stuck in and has attitude. He surely is a natural scrummie. What a threat he would be. Really think he could be a great at 9.
I trust Neil Powell realises he needs more clout in his fowa rds.

I'd try Kolbe at 9, if he has a good enough pass on him he would be great at 9.

The little guy does punch way above his weight.
