Have always been a fan, this lad is on fire at the moment.....he eye for a gap and side step make him lethal on attack and he has the best hands in the business........our form 10 right now.


He has so much natural talent

Yeah I have always thought so.....my these days was more for the benefit of the ignorant clowns that kept telling me how crap he was......bit difficult to push that ignorant line these days given his form


Hope that helps......I could sign it for you if you like?

Sure Dave, whatever you say.....it has to be said it's only you who's noticed a change,no one else has. 


Bye the bye, is Jantjies another of your class acts?

 Jantjies is certainly playing good ATM, but I still don't see him putting on the Bok 10 jumper.

He has recovered from the debacle at the Stormers and his defence is definitely better. But will he crack under pressure?

Yep without a doubt he is a class act....you cant coach that eye for a gap, or those hands

Just a pity he is so slow. Joe Pietersen went by him as if his feet were in concrete on that kick chase.

Oh what utter rubbish, he is more than quick enough for a 10.


Joe is as quick as they come.....for crying out loud of course he is going to be a lot quicker than Jantjies

Small and fast works for me....small and slow, not so much.

So because Joe a speedster is faster than Jantjies, you conclude Jantjies is slow, wow


It all makes sense now with your takes on scrums!!

No he is slow, because he is just pretty slow...so he has to rely on vision. Which he has been doing pretty well. He steps and offloads nicely, although he throws a high percentage of hospital passes....certainly not in Schalk's class as an offloader.
Still he is a good fit at the Lions and that's nice to see.

No he is not slow as those breaks clearly showed......and Schalk has nothing on Jantjies when it comes to hands
