1. Jason Thomas

2. Sean Adendorf

3. Handre Pollard

4. Jan Serfontein

5. Pat Howard (at center)

6. Paul Jordaan

 

A couple other players could make it, but these boys are machines, especially Adendorf and Serfontein.

I liked what I saw of Pieter-Steph Du Toit as well.   Is he really the grandson of the great Piet Du Toit - the Springbok Prop Foreward?

Yes sa-daffy there are a half dozen or so who may play Super 15 and higher perhaps.

Du Toit was good I agree Mike. Pollard didn't look to have the x factor to me. Small-Smith showed a nice turn of speed as well.

Big question is whether there is a future for Kebble. He looks to be too tall as a prop. If not a prop where can he play. Try him at loosehead for now.

I would not be too hard on Pollard - remember he is still a school kid.    We also do not know under what instructions he played.   The one element of the game where he did not show real progress wa shis kicking game - but he could go further with decent coaching.

You missed one of the best players on the night in Steph du Toit, who is a lock and played for the Sharks in the S15, same with Kitshoff of the Stormers and the two locks Willemse and Ruan Botha who have both played S15 for the Lions.

The hooker Thomas wont make it, he is average

Saffex, Thomas was probably our second best forward in the first 2 game.

Only the magical Adendorf outshadowed him.

 

Thomas' work rate was incredible.

His speed was electric for a hooker

Made some outstanding cover tackles.

 

So Im going to have to disagree with you there.

Mike, Pollard never showed anything in the match with regard to running skills. What exactly do folk rate about him? He looks to be just another flyhalf. When one looks at the very young Goosen there is an X factor which everyone sees.

Hope he makes it Flash, he was piss poor against Ireland and strikes me as the same kind of player Bezuidenhout is for the Lions - I might be wrong
