Questions have to be asked why the Boks had Cermit Bosch in the squad, given that Willemse totally outplayed him in the junior world cup.

Although many other questions have to be asked about the Boks, like why the coach is not a test standard coach or selector. 


Willemse is our best new flyhalf prospect in some time. A thinking player that can take the pressure and make decisions quickly He seems to be an all-rounder.

Best young Flyhalf is Robert Du Preez. Th is guy is a rugged competitor

Has Willemse gut the physicality to do the job. Curwin I believe hasn't. But the jury is still out and we shall see how these youngsters go.

Robert Dupreez is good, but not sure he has the kicking game for a flyhalf. He may be better as an inside centre- much like Pollard.
So far Willemse has been better in the Currie Cup against smaller backs. Hopefully, he has a good inside centre- as the Stormers have now lost Hugh Jones.
Dan Kriel is useless at 12 - probably the worst backline player in the competition.

I rate Willemse very highly and to my mind he is a player to watch this year in Super Rugby,

Oops coming from the guy who punted Lambie, Swiel and Goosen, the fact that you ‘rate’ Willemse is not good news Tokkie.

Coming from the guy who rate the non-performing Fransie and Morne Steyn criticism of my view on  Willemse is really rich

@all


If you watch this video from the 14th second to the 18th second- it is hilarious.

2 Bulls players run into each other - after getting stepped. The total donkeys probably injured each other.

Look at the way in which Willemse hold the ball when carrying the ball - he is always capable to pass, off-load or kick the balls effectively.

Unlike duds at flyhalf we used to have he can read the game and kick balls away from potential recipients and not straight at them.  

It is already clear that he opens up the way for players outside of him to perform,   He is a natural player - unlike Jantjies who have serious problems in reading games..   I do not think he will fall into a hole like some of our past flyhalfs did - and that in particular includes the Steyns and even Goosen.   While the latter showed signs of ball sense the Steyns never did.

@CM,
Yes, we rarely see our backline players carry the ball in two hands. Perhaps the last Bok to do so was Percy Montgomery. 
Many of our players, especially the Afrikaans ones usually carry the ball under one arm. This is especially true against quality opposition. 
It then becomes obvious to anyone including the person braaing hamburgers outside the stadium, that it is another crash ball move.

Oh good Willemse is now the answer. He hasn’t contributed to winning one big game against international opposition....but in the same old South African way he is elevated to heir apparent status. Who was it last year.....oh yes.....du Plessis. How did he carry the ball? LMAOFY!

Don't go ballistic - you are totally off the boil once again.   Nobody said anything about Willemse other than to say that he is to be watched as to how he performs in Super Rugby.

What we do not need t flyhalf are duds like Fransie and Morne - so keep the peace on site,

There is no truth about what you wrote in this case in any event and I will keep to my resolution to be civil to site members. irrespective of how difficult you make it for other members to maintain peace on the site.

I think Willemse will live up to expectation. He has the required physicality for a flyhalf. He will probably get to 90kg without over-bulking.
I just need to see more of his kicking game- and how he operates against a test level rush defence.
