Wow what a lock this lad is, that try he scored for his size was pretty special......for a lad standing 2.01m and weighing 125kg, he has some serious pace, strength and skill......hardly surprising on the skill side given he played provincial schools cricket as an all rounder. The number of breaks he made, where he just powered through the Oz defence was something to behold.
This lad has Bok written all over him, looks as good as Etzebeth, PSDT and Jacques du Plessis were as Baby Boks.
I have been touting this kid for some time now, he should have been playing for the Bulls in the S15, his locking partner RG Snyman is another fantastic prospect at 2.06m and 118kg, they make quite a pair.
The Baby Bok pack will take some stopping in this JWC, I cant see any side containing them. I take back my anti Ox Nche at loosehead, he is pretty impressive, putting in one bone crushing hit and good on the charge.
Dweba is a powerful hooker and Thomas du Toit looks at home at 3. The replacement tighthead v/Wyk is a monster as well and a real handful.
The loose trio of Vermeulen, du Preez and Liebenberg is pretty special.......Liebenberg is another Bok in the making.....we have seen that at S15 level.
The backs look handy enough with some real dazzle out wide.......but they tend to use the pack to dominate proceedings
