In the form of outside centre Sango Xamlashe - this 23 year old has it all, he glides and has such great balance. It’s about time we found a young back up to Am at 13, this lad is the answer Nicely built at 96kg If he is not playing for one of the big unions next season I’ll eat my hat Was also impressed with their 9, 10, 12, 8 and 5

As from next season we will see a lot more of the players in the case of the European Competitions and the Griquas players form part of the Cheetahs when it come to the Challenge up.     Have not seen the guy play and would make sure I do in future,

Griqua's are well coached by Pieter Bergh...Saffex, did you not have a comrade that also was involved there? They do have some impressive individuals in their team.

Hanru Sirgel is another one.

Agree Dave unfortunately being in the Griqua's squad players such as Sango don't get the exposure of the three or four bigger unions but as you suggest he most probably will end up with one of them next season and he will then receive his due rewards.

Must agree that Griqua's have soon excellent players.

The crazy thing is, is that Sango captained the Bulls in their first CC game of the season and Jake clearly ignorantly let him go to Griquas Talk about utter short sightedness by Jake - instead he invests in 35 plus year olds in Hendricks and Mapoe - give me strength
