Fuck here we go again. This guy is a prodigious talent and has been approached by Townsends to play for Scotland as he has Scottish links Fucking Rassie and co need to wake up to this guys talent and select him for the EOYT

Flits between back row and hooker. A bit of a Schalk Brits? We play Scotland in November, so we shall see what he is made of.

They lure our talent over with big bucks. So players hardly refuse. More stability than what SA can offer.

Money, safety, culture, professionalism. Who could possibly say no?

Dylan,s deal allows him to still play rugby for sharks. But test career will be with Scotland. He is a good catch for Scotland. The Question is why was he not chosen for Boks? SA team selection structures needs a serious do over.

If SA rugby had any brains they would speak to Richardson about his future as a real candidate for the Boks

Really is a wonderful player. Tipped him to be a Bok by 2022. Guess I was wrong. He’s good enough to walk straight in to the Scottish starting line up.

He would be 3rd option at best for the Boks until after the next world cup.

Same thing happened to Akker vd Merwe....great player, but behind Marx and Bongi...difficult to crack the Bok side ATM.

Akker had poor ball retention in contact. Has only himself to blame.

As a loose forward? There are open doors. Steph and Kolisi don't belong and we don't have established depth.

Dylan Richardson is better than Kwagga and v Staaden I’d have him as my second choice openside behind Kolisi He will not displace Hamish Watson in the Scotland side so he should not be rushing to join Scotland

Well, he stands a better chance than displacing Kwotalisi.

Kolisi strained to be average at times. That was all he had in the tank. As poor as the Boks have played in every test this year, he still couldn't stand out for excellence. The 3rd Lions test was his absolute peak.

Ah, the joy of a  shrinking domestic market demand while SAns's best chances to flee the empoverished SA ship remains rugby...

A team for sure can only absorb a number of players.

Kolmanskop incoming.

At least quota players can not tap in such lineages to switch allegiance...

Since there are so few of them trained in the art of rugby, no future here.

Ah, if only Netherlands rugby keeps improving, what a pump that would be and what leakage this would cause.

Enjoyable.
