This fabulous contributor, underrated by some posters on this Board......has been appropriately recognized up North as part of the Premiership Dream Team. As a newbie, largely unknown up north, this is a pure merit selection. Congrats also to Reinach who seems to have learned his craft up north.
English Premiership Dream Team:
15 Alex Goode (Saracens), 14 Santiago Cordero (Exeter Chiefs), 13 Henry Slade (Exeter Chiefs), 12 Mark Atkinson (Gloucester), 11 Ollie Thorley (Gloucester), 10 Danny Cipriani (Gloucester), 9 Cobus Reinach (Northampton Saints), 8 Matt Kvesic (Exeter Chiefs), 7 Tom Curry (Sale Sharks), 6 Alex Dombrandt (Harlequins), 5 Will Skelton (Saracens), 4 Franco Mostert (Gloucester), 3 John Afoa (Bristol Bears), 2 Jamie George (Saracens), 1 Mako Vunip0la (Saracens).

That is a good achievement by Mostert, particularly on the slower mud pens of the Northern Hemisphere against bigger slower opponents. Mostert always seemed good at SuperRugby in the fast conditions - but good to see him adapting.
The Boks are spoilt for choice at lock.
Stephanie has already been converted to a flank from lock, at this rate, most of the team should be converted from the lock into other positions.
- Eztebeth could be a prop where he could use his wrestling move to bind. - Lomp could be the other prop - given he is usually overweight anyway. - Mostert could be a flank. - RG Snyman could be an inside centre with his offload. - Stephanie is already at 7- Eli Snyman could be a number 8
- JD Shiterling could be the scrumhalf given he makes no physical contribution.

Stephanie on the left wing is my call....hell he already spends half his time there.
Personally I would be perfectly happy with Faf and the improved Reinach at 9. With Mostert at 7 to play the Juan Smith role. With Etzebeth and Snyman at Lock.....with Stephanie on the bench.

Aw....you're just embarrassed Tokkie. You told us week after week that Mostert was flopping up north and here he is part of the dream team. And here you are looking like a fool.
