Rooi I know you have given this kid big wraps but man he was good against Bennetton this weekend He has it all - strength, bulk, pace and skill Rickus Pretorious was very good at 12 as well Xaba is a great prospect as well. He is a turnover king at 6

The Stormers have a relatively young team. If we get our Bokke back and wirth a bit of experience,  the Stormers are going to surprise a few big names...and traditionally we tour better than the other SA sides ...

I like Xaba too...Deon Fourie is also back at WP, but he's past his best, but there may still be a bit of vallue to be had.

No doubt Rictus was superb at 12….hahaha. But I’m putting my faith in the future of our game on the great value Xaba brings to the party. Perhaps a future Bok captain, no doubt honing his inspirational skills.

No issue with Rictus….just a bit of an unfortunate name.

Addiction... An anguish moisted brow, a tourniquet tighly wrapped around the arm, a shaky hand tapping frantically to get a vein to pop out...

Quick, a syringe, a shot of denial, solace, relief....


It did not miss. After the deplorable lack of rugby display, it was time to chase the dragon, as it is by necessity, anything to avoid facing the reality.

As usual, the shelter of the bright future with all those wonder kids who are supposed to deliver and always fail to do so. The endless rotation of players to push line ups that would conquer the world.

The players who play abroad and who are such a loss for SA rugby.

The inexisting quota policy as the convenient strawsman

A land of forced beliefs.

Historically, the mark of great people has been to know to stop before being coerced to stop.

Wont happen for SA rugby.

Not seen much of Rickus, just hope is not  another Viljoen. Roos definitely looks like the Vermeulen replacement. 

Saw Xaba earlier in the year and is real contender for open side. Although, he is 24 now and haven't had that many 1st class games under his belt. Will need to get a lot of starts

There are some really handy young loosies about The best young openside for me is the Sharks, Dylan Richardson followed by James Venter and Xaba At blindside I’m a huge fan of Bulls, Elrigh Louw who is equally home at 8 Lions, Vincent Tshituka will be a Bok, plays 7 but I’d like to see him at 8 Then there is Evan Roos at 8 We know about v Staaden, the du Preez twins, Jaco Coetzee, Jasper Wiese and Ruan Ackerman Liebenberg and Kobus Wiese playing here in the UK are quality players as well
