Faf reminds me of old time no 9 stars

The perfect no 9...the Sid Going and Gareth Edwards and perhaps Rory Kockott type...dynamite in small packages...nippy, plucky, direction sense, alert and gutsey...a breath of fresh air from slow hestitant, scrummies like Pienaar...puts fire in a side.

A symbol of a Jack Russell of rugby...lovely to see.

 If you are going old time, let's go old time..... Dawie de Villiers and Dirkie de Vos.....they were dynamite in their early twenties.

He is what Smith is to NZ, Phipps is to Oz, Youngs is to England and Murray is to Ireland

Not quite yet.  

Agreed.....I should have said he could be what they are to their sides

Yeah, the world has a few really good halfbacks at the moment.
Takes me back to the Joost, Gregan and Marshall era. 3 greats tugging at each others heels.

 Disagree Chip the 9s I mention above are all very good

 @saf
Where do we disagree?
I said there are a few good scrumhalves around.

 Shit I misread you Chip sorry boet
