From the highlights, he appears to have had a good game. He cuts the backline on the attack from 15, and good in a territory game where he can probably kick as far as any other player in world rugby. He does not offer much in the tackle, but he is smart especially with   some extra space at 15.

 A deeply flawed player. A 15 who cant tackle. Cheslin Kolbe tackles better than the frail Curwin. Lets see how he overcomes his weaknesses  - IF he can

He could be Christian Cullen....just a long as he isn't tackling like Raymond Rhule. Surely somebody could teach this kid how to make a low tackle, he should study the Aplon tapes.

He hit the scene ...  and we all agreed that the kid is very talented. Maybe not at 10 ... but at least he can play there if need be. 

He has impressed at 15 this season and I think SharkShit may be onto something. I would definitely give him a shot at the Bok 15 jersey.

Sooo ... that means we'll have Coetzee, Gelant, Le Roux and Bosch competing against each other. Can't think of anyone else.

Let's face it ... Coetzee hasn't made the 15 jersey his own yet. To be honest, we need to do better there and so to my mind the position is still open for all to stake their claim.

SA has virtually no talent at 15. Shame really...

The best defensive 15 is Coetzee.

The best kicking 15 is Bosch.

The best 15 under high balls is Le Roux.

The best mix is probably Galant.

But...Ruan Combrink is better than all of them and he should play at 15. He's wasted on the wing.

Bosch is also one of the better passers and is a good link player, he is also probably the fastest runner as well. He has a good step. 

His weakness is tackling where he is a total liability. Although Willie Leroux is also not much of a tackler- albeit not as bad.

Gelant, Combrink and Coetzee are solid but non is fast really fast runners.

Gelant is slow and hesitant under the high ball....if Allende gasses you, you ain't fast. And he is a poor tackler. He is active, that's what gets him noticed......it's also the reason he is out of position so often.
