Not good tackling stats, but then again Stephanie missed 4 tackles while making 9...that apparently is okay? And of course there is this:
S KolisiF 0 3 10 60 3 1 2 0
Kolisi made 60 metres in 10 runs....including 3 clean breaks....second most metresof any player in the game. Mike when presenting us this information, trust the reader with both sides of the argument...thanks.

So in essence you are saying Kolisi cant defend well enoughto be the Bok flank? Here are this tackling stats for 2017....tackles made/missed and the opponent:
France 14/2.
France 14/2.
France 13/1.
Argentina 8/1.
Argentina 8/1.
Australia 8/0.
New Zealand 13/1 ( in our 57 to 0 drubbing).
Australia 6/2.
New Zealand 3/1.
Itealand 9/0 (in our 38 to 3 drubbing)
France 9/0
Wales 9/2.
Overall 112 tackles made out of 125 attempts for a 90% success ratio and that disqualifies him?

Oh no Tokkie....not the usual slime. You said Kolisi HAS BEEN seriously defective in defence. Clearly referring to his record to counter Keo's claim that he should be Bok captain.
I provide a stellar test tackling resume which blows your point into the weeds....13 tackles/1 miss against NZ in a test where we are beaten 57 to 0 and they were running rampant!
Enjoy your egg .

No you said:
'Fact is Kolisi has been seriously deficicient in defence and for a loosie that is just good enough and excusable'....a blanket condemnation of his past performance defensively.
You never had a clue what Kolisi's test stats are....you just blurted out your bias. Well enjoy your egg.

That is where things go wrong, Qoutas do not win games and losing teams find the pavilions empty. The weakest positions in the Stormers are all filled by quota players - eg the wings and the loosies,
Kolisi is just what he is - a quota pick

All of the Sharks, Bulls and Lions have better performance records than Carr and Kolisi - so lets leave it there.

Guscott did, however, use the example of flanker Siya Kolisi as a black player who has excelled for the Springboks.
“Kolisi is there on merit, and when Eben Etzebeth was replaced during the game against Wales he was promoted to captain. The good news is that Kolisi is using his high profile to help black and coloured youngsters to do what he has done, and is a great role model. What is also important is that he has been backing up his position with strong performances on the pitch.”

That of course is rubbish......just to provide one counter example I have always been a fan of the Beast. But there isn't a poster on here who wouldn't have picked Habana, JP, Chester Williams or indeed the Beast in their primes. Nobody is not going to support a player of colour who is a worthy Bok.
You are living in the 18th century.....clean your mind, say goodbye to that little chip on your shoulder and stop wasting your life as a victim. Make an effort to contribute, you will get a fair response.
