Jurenzo Julius

A year or so ago we had this kid light up school boy rugby with his power and skill at 13 Last year he played in the Baby Bok side but was wasted on the wing and made little impression in an average side This year in the U20 WC and the pre RC tournament he played in at 13, he really made an impression scoring in virtually every game he played in, in a side struggling to make an impression thanks to a completely incompetent coach He displayed power, a step and some good hands and rugby intelligence He is definitely one for the future. He is at the Sharks which is not ideal given they have Am, Esterhuizen and Hooker there Poor Bruce Sherwood the impressive Bishops 12 was played out of position at 15 thanks to the fool that calls himself a coach JF v Heerden was predictably good at lock as was Batho the big 7 from my school and Jacobs the 8 who is contracted to a French club Boulle, one of the 12’s looked very powerful - reminded me a lot of de Allende, even looks a little like him Porthen the tighthead looked ok as well They were very poor at 10, with ex Bok Koen’s son at 10 - he was big, cumbersome and piss poor Moodie and Julius are our future at 13

Jesus Koen was shit. Worse ball player than his dad. At least the old man could kick. Sefoor was even worse.

Yeah I remember some guy on Next Gen saying Liam Koen was going to be the next big thing at 10 First time I have seen him play was this WC and as you say he is so shit Far too big and gangly for a back - not athletic at all - looks awkward. Has absolutely zero going for him

Stuff waiting until they are 24 cap them now - our centres are old we need to find replacements The only young player we have tried at centre is Moodie. Willemse is yet to wear the Bok 12 jersey Against Portugal we should be playing two young centres. With Moodie and Henco v Wyk unavailable Id be very tempted to do a Pollard and play Jurenzo straight from the U20 WC like they did with Pollard Julius in this under 20 WC has shown he has what it takes and at 96kg he is more than equipped for test rugby At 12 I’d definitely play David Kriel - how the fuck he has not made an alignment camp is beyond comprehension. I’d start Kriel at 12 and Jurenzo at 13 with Hooker on the bench. Or you could post Hooker at 12 and Kriel at 13 with Jurenzo on the bench or Kriel 12 and Hooker 13 I hope we see Jurenzo playing for the Sharks main side sooner than later but it’s a tall ask with Am, Esterhuizen and Hooker ahead of him at the moment
