Seems our assessment of his lack of pace is accurate.


He needs to do something because he's not quick enough for wing and doesn't have the tactical, highball or kicking ability for 15.


JP selecting him for 12 is basically saying, "There is nowhere else we can try you." If he was quick enough they would for sure have tried him on the wing by now.


The assessment remains the same, Juju has flashes now and then but nowhere near consistency for the Boks to look his way.


Let's hope he does something from 12!on Saturday.

If this doesn't bring Dave back, nothing will.

He’s an unbelievable player.

smashing tackler and line breaker.

He’ll be a Bok in the next year.

Well, he's not really settled at 13. People were expecting more. And now they are trying him at 12...which I think isn't a bad idea. I can see the logic in it...if he can get into a gap and get offloads going.


Let's hope for him that the execution lives up to the plan.

Stop baiting Plum.

Juju played 12 against Clermont recently. Didn't have a bad game. Started and scored a nice try at the end by drawing two and putting Rahl into a gap, then following play and finishing. Minute 4:16 of the video.
