Lets start a campaign to get this youngster in the Springbok squad. He really is something special - a brilliant player coming forth. I think the following should be borne in mind:-
* He played an exceptional game in the game against England in the Junior World Cup - and made the forth try that resulted the Junior Boks being in the semis of the Junior WC. Unfortunately he was injured early in the next game - but he made his mark already.
* The next game he played in was against the Reds in the play-offs. Scored a brilliant try - largely made by his innovative play - ran round Pietersen on the wing - allowing Pietersen to run at an angle inside and was there to get the ball and scored under the posts.
* He was the only Sharks player that really sparkled in the final against the Chiefs - broke brilliantly through half the Chiefs defenders -but there was no support when he was ultimately tackled about five meters from the tryline.
* Scored a excellent try against the Stormers in the CC- when he outpaced of all people Aplon.
* Cause havoc in the next CC game as well. Made a number of really telling runs and wWas instrumental in a tackle that kept the ball off the ground causing a turnover.
I think he is constantly improving in every game he plays in. The guy has a number of elements in his favour:- namely great ball sense, speed, capacity to make clean back line breaks and is a good defender. To my mind h is a much better center - who can also play on the wing - than Emgelbrecht and should be in the Springbok squad.
