Weighing in at 84KG, wee Dejong could be an embarrassment. The only positive spin is that Nonu is no longer playing- so things could have been worse. 
Wee Dejong has a limited distribution or playing making game ability, and too small to carry the ball into contact. 
Without doubt too small for international rugby, at best he is an outside centre or wing at SuperX rugby.
Rohan is 107KG and  the best playmaker in South Africa and gets ready for a Curry Cup game.

De Jong in 2012 played in two tests and went AWOL in both.      Just for the record  the stats for the two games are provided:-

Against Scotland

de Jongh

0/0

0

0/0/4

12

0

2

0

1

4/1

0/0

0

0/0

 

Against England

de Jongh

0/0

0

0/1/0

0

0

0

0

0

3/0

0/0

0

0/0

 

The first test listed indicates a sub-standard performance the second one an atrocious display.  I have never seen a backline player playing the full game with so many zeroes in his stats.   When one looked for him in the backline he was missing.

His performance last week was on par with the above non-performances – so we know what to expect from him tomorrow.    This guy – a favourite of Mozart – is not test standard and has never been.

What the fuck is this sad excuse of a centre doing as our Bok 12.....its a disgrace. He has never been physical enough for centre and its that more prevalent at test level.....but more than anything, he is not an inside centre.
His selection really pisses me off

Well Rohan JvR is not in the squad. 
The other option is De Allende, with a 20% tackle success in his last game against Argentina. De Jongh had 88% tackle success against Aus. 
Boks conceded 18 line breaks against Argentina, 7 against Aus. The figures favor De Jongh as the better option if you're worried about conceding meters.

Pakie I meant metres conceded in contact- while he gets carried backwards like a cheap handbag. 
The revolving Delande does not even make contact. 
Rohan should he playing. He is like a new Jean Devilliers- a little less speed, but more power and better pass.

Actually if you look at Van Rensburg's defensive stats they aren't great. I'm sure he will be better than Allende on defence though and he is a weapon on offence. He would get my vote. But with the players on tour you have to go with de Jongh. At least he has some sense of where he needs to be....Allende is clueless and even if he is in position, he can't tackle a slow moving shopping cart.

 This defense story is BS n buckets - a mountain of it.  De Jongh is a joke selection and that has been p[roved time and again.  The dud Mozart is not anyone to believe about De Allende and neither is the useless and think-deficient Pakie.     They both fabricated stories about defensive lapses and they lied without any limit about issues.   Mozart was always a De Jongh supporter and tried to justify his performance in the 2012 test as sufficient.    However, his contribution to backline performance in all aspects of backline play is deficient and that fact is always ignored by the two scarecrows.

 Exactly, Mozart ... De Jongh is the man to take us forward. He is a natural 12 and defensively sound ... all 82kg of him. 
Janse van Rensburg is weak defensively and should never be considered for national duty. Keep the 108kg chump at home playing Currie Cup ... where he belongs.
