This guy is my tip for big things in the future
I was massively impressed with him at 10 for the Baby Boks last year from an attacking point of view. I’m guessing they played him at 10 because they had Rickus Pretorious at 12 who is possibly just as good a prospect as James is.
The Lions have signed him this year and is presently in their B side but should be ahead of Dan Kriel as the 12

Dan Kriel had his best Super Rugby game ever over the weekend. Although one swallow doesn't make a summer... Even Jonny Klutz at the Bulls once had a good game.
Mollentze looks promising. He is a playmaker but also looks strong enough for the modern-day inside centre. When he is running he is considering all the options. If he needs to take contact, then he looking over his shoulder for a support runner to offload to.

That was James in 2018 he is more muscled up now.
Naturally a stocky lad - his profile has him at 98kg which is perfect for a 12
He really stood out making breaks for the Baby Boks last year
Agreed Dan Kriel showed he is more than just a battering ram. I have not seen much of him but he looked good this weekend

This kid is the real deal
For the Lions I’d start him at 12 and move Dan Kriel to 13
I also like Jan Louis la Grange who played 12 for the Lions in the CC and is now partnering Mollentze at 13 in the Lions B side
I think the Dayimani to centre has been put to bed after the trial there last year especially if he by all accounts does not want to make the move

No he is not big enough for centre, leave him out wide

I’ve only seen his weight at 89kg which looks about right, 95kg puts him as the same size as Jessie Kriel which he is not but then again Jessie could be 100kg’s these days. No doubt his weight of 96kg is out of date

Let’s hope the Lions use him soon
