 Apart from one good tackle the guy was a waste of time this week end. He also does not have have Nokwe's pace. Those given to reviwing games in detail will no doubt tell you he was continually fouling up the few times he got involved

I fear that dispite all snaspters high hopes we may have another small black winger doomed to fail? Give me a JP any day!

Naka it would seem in the teams best interest to play Benjamin instead.

Snapster once again Deon Fourie looked far better than Brussouw. Did you see that superb try Deon scored - pure class. Man did Allistair miss a trick not playing Deon at 6  this season! One of many tricks missed by him.

Not often, but the Beeno1 is correct this time round.  If Fourie is better than Brussow remains an emotional question and answer I suppose.

 On current evidence I would give up on Rhule. The only thing stopping me is that he is so young so maybe he can still get better.

Fred, Beeno is normally correct. Just like ou rooitwit is normally incorrect hahahahahahaha

Brussouw is trying hard and I respect him for that but he doesnt have Deon's talent.

Beeno You seem to lose it when it comes to a player like Fourie. It must be very clear - that the Stormers had a shocker against the Kings. They won - but it was nevertheless a shocker. I am not surprised at the fact that Fourie played well - but the opposition should be taken into account as well. This weekend game - together with the first Sharks game against the Kings - were the worst SA performances against the Kings this year. I have gradually become very disillusioned by Rhule - his most recent games were on average poor. Saffex never consider defence as important - so I am not surprised by his failure. He is no good under high balls and othr than the one try-saving tackle he made on Saturday - his defence in general is poor. Put him into space - and he will score tries - but for the rest no real value in the team.

 MIke I agree with your assessment of the current staus re Rhule. I wonder hwo the creative  snaspter will explain it away?

Deon Fourie has palyed very well for the past coupel of seasons with no recognition nationally. 

The opposotion weak, well the kings have been reasonable at home apart from a collapse againt the Warts and and loss against the bulle.

At home beat Force by 12 

lost to Sharks by 9

lost to chiefs by 11 

Beat Highlanders by 6

Lost to Cheetahs by 12

lost to Stormers by 12.

Fact is in this game Fourie was again very good and he scored a try Brussouw could only dream of.

Naka should gradually phase Senatla into the team, but Rhule is still very young and is developing. I am worried about our situation at the wings mind you, with Allistair Coetzee not bringing a youngster like Pat Howard over old man Aplon and an beginning to think of Jordaan as a possible candidate.

sorry but Raymond is a liability. pity that Rocco Jansen is injured. if I were naka I would play Benjamin for the duration of super rugby and let Raymond prove that he can tackle and catch during the currie cup. there might be hope for Raymond considering the fact that he is only 21 and already boasts a springbok blazer.
