I didn't see much of Am in SR but from what I've seen in test rugby is enough to suggest he is either not test standard or is his game is not mature enough for test rugby. There isn't a lot of time to waste in preparing for the WC so if I was Rassie I'd drop him to the bench in the next game.
I had my doubts about him from the start after watching him play in the SR games he played in for the Sharks, He was just not up to standard on SR level so would never be up to standard on test level.
Was in the same mold as Mapoe - so he would never really make it as a test player I am afraid.
I would say we have to look for a different combination since I am not overly impressed with Kriel either. I would play Esterhuizen at twelve and move De Allende to 13. That may be the answer and I hope it would happen in the third test against England.
What the hell has this to do with AM? Anyway Viljoen is a damn site better center than your hero De Jongh.
