This lad is a class act, has Bok written all over him and to think our useless Bok U20 coach missed him much like he did Burger Odendaal

Thanks for the video clip - that really was magic what Vorster produced.
Vorster played his first game on Super 15 level this year in Round 3 of the competition and looked out of depth against the Stormers. He looked a heck of a lot better in his second game against the Blues. The third game he was solid against the Crusaders. He then did not play against the Rebels but then came back against the Reds in the next round and had an absolutely magic game.
That was when the fun started. He was average against the Bulls on return to SA and brilliant in the game against the Sharks followed by another brilliant game against the Cheetahs. Up to that game he played at 12.
The next three games he played as a 13 and he was brilliant in all three. That was followed by a rest day on the bench and then the game last week - where he did well enough despite what Mozart says.
Personally I think he can play in both positions - but I do think he is a better no 13 than no 12. I have written about him from the time I saw him in the game against the Reds and I have maintained all along - this guy is a magic player.

Inside centre and outside centre are not as interchangeable as you would like to think. But then you can't tell who is doing what anyway, so that doesn't matter to you.

I like him as well, but it is early days still. The bok backline will play to a much different plan though and it is not to say that it will suit his style. That is also true about other Bok contenders...and then we have to look at combinations as well! Not an easy task building a team from all the different parts in the short time allowed for with the test window. That's why whole sale changes is never really an option for te Bok coach.

You are the clueless one - thinking that De Jongh is effectively a 12 and De Allende a 13. What a farce.

I like the lad, but he has a lot to learn and a lot to prove. On the positive side he is a gamer....wiiling to take things on. On the negative I don't really see the mega talent that makes him a sure fire international candidate....neither in terms of pace or elusiveness.
Hope I'm wrong but to me he looks like a marginal international candidate....probably serviceable but not a loss if a real talent comes along. De Allende for example has far more fire power.

Mozart saw nothing as per normal. He has not seen fire power at all. he has seen the guy as speed-deficient. He is not elusive. He has no real talent.
So for Mozart this guy is a write-off.
This from a site member who rates Fransie Steyn as a player with all that Vorster lacks - same with Juan de Jongh and JP Pietersen.
How can anyone take Mozart's comments seriously?

Gosh was that a bite from a stink bug. Ag well, not to worry.
