AE has Libbok eating more grass than the average cow in the 35th and 38th minutes. If only he was still on the field at the end the Sharks could have sent him into Libbok again instead of launching the box kick that ultimately lost them the game.
Esterhuizen vs Libbok
Even Jordan broke his tackle to score the Sharks' last try. It highlights how big a liability he is.
Manie is a glass act.
On his day, he is worth 10 points on attack as a playmaker.
His pole-kicking will never be of test standard. His defence is weak. Little Man(ie) needs to tackle lower.
He's too small and weak. I'm a bit shorter than than Manie but a few kgs heavier and even at shorter height and more weight, while I'm fairly athletic you definitely won't take me for a test rugby player if you see me. In the examples above with Esterhuizen both were low tackles, but AE just walked out of the first tackle and continued on, the second one he burst through without even losing speed.
A match loser ….he should have the ex factor.
His bit of magic was worth 7 points. But he missed Jordan Hendrikse for a try…so the seven points are wiped out. Plus he missed two conversions and I believe 2 penalties. Plus his poor tackling was a factor in the lead up to other tries.
He is in the negative by 10 points at least. And this was one of his better games recently.
Dave it’s laughable that you say Manie is a class act when he is so obviously too weak to protect his channel….but that Mostert is too weak when he never lets a player by him.
Then you say we have to have a tractor like Dud Allende because there is no space, but you pick Libbok because you like watching him run through space.
Just another Elton.
The talent in SA Rugby is perhaps at an all time high.
Why even consider Libbok when we have at least two or three top class #10's available at present.
Provincial rugby is his level not international rugby.
Agree totally with your last comment Mozart.
Foeitog - that was the only tackle Esterhuizden managed to beat in the whole match once during the match - for the rest he did fuck-all 45 mintes he actually was on the field. And the praise songs go on.
And the poor Sharks are set to lose thie weekend by 40+ points this coming weekend when they play Toulouse this weekend - but Esterhuisen is likely to claim he is out with an injury.
As to Libbok he is at the best of times a por tackler and was shit at flyhalf. but in the end scored what turned out to be the winning try of the Stormers in that match. That was the first match in years where four injured playes had to be replaced due to inijury in one match and to turn out it was probably the worst match I have seen for years - mainly playing to injure the players in dirty play - with way too many penlties both sides gave away. Then Hooker was given a yellow card and he was disappointing as well.
The only intereting issue to watch the scumming between Ox and Malherbe scrumming against each other and I call it 50:50 in that case - while the other player that stood out in the match was Schickerling at lock. For the rest the Tight 5 on both sides did nothing much,
.

for the rest he did fuck-all 45 mintes he actually was on the field.
Since you can't even distinguish between Esterhuizen and Hooker, we can safely assume you were watching one of the reserves warming up thinking that was Esterhuizen doing "fuck-all."
Never went into that phase when comparing the two.
I was referring to his Springbok fly-half contributions.
The "ex factor"!
LMAO!
This is the self-important puffed up old toad who loves nothing more than to correct other posters mistakes.
The ex factor!
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha!
That is a keeper!
The ex as in an ex Springbok you gormless fool….,waaahahaha. What a moron. Did you think I was mistaking it for X Peeper? Nobody ever accused you of being smart.
This is definitely a keeper.
Moffie, just to explain . . . the X factor is an unpredictable and mercurial quality certain players have, while the "ex factor" is something your wife wishes she had .
Just to explain, you never got the play on words you dumb plank.
"A play on words"!
LMAO!
You keep playing with your words, Moffie, the rest of us are creased up laughing!
Okay, we will put it to a Board vote….in a new string.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha!
Go ahead, chump. I hope "your" (sic) going to prove you have the ex factor!
LMAO!
