after a year with the Brumbies. He played a few games under Jake but has asked to be released from his contract to come back home. He used to be a Lion, they could do with a lock so chances the young man will return.


He strangely missed out on the 2012 Baby Bok squad given the 1.98m and 125kg lad could play 7 and lock and had played S15 rugby in the year he missed out on the Baby Bok squad.

 Another earmark of a bog ordinary player? Hoping he gets a game at Super rugby next year so you can tell us all how you called it and he should replace the useless Etzebeth until Sipho Shabalala finishes school then he should replace the useless Etienne Oosthuizen.

 

We all read the news but Ettien Oosthuizen was not worth starting a thread. You seem to be the only oke getting excited over a bloke that will slot into our system as ordinarily as the Marais brothers do! Give us something of substance pls Saff man!

 

Saffex, im telling you bro, go watch out for Grey Bloem, Grey PE, Glenwood, Kearsney, Westville, Pretoria Boys, Wynberg and Maritzburg college. There is gona be a Springbok come from there again soon!

 

Ha ha stupid!

He was under-utilized by the Brumbies and one wonders why that happened.  Size is not he only criterium for selection - neither should reputation be - the key issue is PERFORMANCE.   If he comes back to the Lions and shows w ether he is a talented player - one can look at him again.   At present he really is a nonentity and should be regarded as such.

Oh give it a bloody break you cry babies, I said nothing of his ability other than the fact that he was good enough to play a few games for the Lions at S15 level and its good to see him back.

Beenkop, he mostly plays lock but has played at flank much like Etzebeth, Steph du Toit and Jacques du Plessis have. Obviously skilful enough to play there, which is a good sign

 I used this on another post and feel it is appropriate for the Saff man.

Etienne Oosthuizen makes my extended Springbok squad of 1000 short listed players in South Africa.
Hell I have not even seen him play, but but he is young, he is a heavy in weight and most of all he has proven very little at senior level.  He had a good season at the Brumbies with very little game time.
I may even move him from lock to the be the heaviest loose forward in world rugby, and then if he does not perform he would make my Springbok wider squad as one of the best new potential inside centres to watch.He is strong with ball in hand and has a good step.

Twatbok you really are one useless contributor......why don't you just do us all a favour and go jump off the nearest bridge.

 

 

My point on Oosthuizen is that he is a useful player and its good to see him returning to SA and not playing in Oz........fuck me, its idiotic clowns like you who read so much into the fact I mentioned the lad was returning.

 

 

Just slit your wrists or something........you really are one of those that floats through life without making an impression on anyone really...........you have been around for years, but remain insignificant........a fly, that should be terminated

Sadly there might be quota selections, but there need not be given we have merit selections in JP, Habana, Rhule, Mapoe, Mvovo, Volmink, Kolbe, Howard Mnisi, Jantjies, Beast, Chiliboy, Ntumbeni, Nkanyane, Kolisi and Mtembu to name but some.

 


Saffex, that is 16 players you mentioned above. 
If the squad contains 26 players, this only leaves 10 more places for selections.
How are you going to include the  other 90 or so, Springbok candidates that you have mentioned over the last 6 weeks or so?
Surely being a Springbok is making the 26 man squad, and then getting on the match day squad to be capped?
A candidate is someone that has a realistic chance of completing this goal? 
Not every new Tom, Dick and Harry to turn up from Junior level, and Vodacom. 
This is a perfect example of how you spout off many young players that should be in the Springbok squad, and then later deny that they are potential Springboks. You will cover your shit in candy wrapping saying that you identified them as potential good players, but they just did not cut it.
By then you have found a new young player to replace them in your top 1000 list. 
What ever happened to Sithole who you said should replace Habana?
Lets just drop anyone over the age of 27 years old and replace them with some of your potential 1000 Springboks. (Those that when get a chance can't even hack it at SuperXV level).

Fat Dave said: "Etienne Oosthuizen should have been in the Bok under21 squad just because he has "potential". "He strangely missed out on the 2012 Baby Bok squad given the 1.98m and 125kg lad could play 7 and lock"

 If Saffex had 3 marbles and then he lost 1 marble, how many marbles would Saffex have?
How many players are in Saffex 26 man squad at one time.
