what about furys try agains the brities lions where he run over o'gara and with 2 players on his back went and scoresd a 20m try in the coner. or his try in the super rugby when he run for the 50m and scored leaving al the crusaders standing and wandering wat happend.
I would have rather played Jordaan than De Jongh. However I also do not believe de Jongh is that bad. His lack of tries is a reflection of the Stormers lack of tries. How would he have shaped in a free flowing running Cheetahs side? The Stormers havr been poor in attacking ability for a couple of seasns now - all this has hindered Juan as far as try scoring is concerned.
If he could up his distribution skills I would be very much more happy with him as a player. I suspect he will do well on tour - purely a hunch.
As was pointed out this could mean Taute at 15 which could add zip to the backline.
This thread started off with a reference to the poor attacking stats of De Jongh and is now dealing with the merits and demerits of Joubert and Fourie. This really is a pointless discussion. Joubert is over the hill as a player and will contribute nothing to the Springbok team in future. It may be a similar case with Fourie - when he eventually return to SA in 2014 - that is if he returns at all.
If he does I only hope he is not selected based on his past performance and that he is selected on merit - nothing else.
Well Moz we will have to agree to disagree then.
Lets just hope that Meyer uses his brain and selects the best possible team available on tour.
