He is a skillful rugby player- and can be very effective at the breakdown. Perhaps a Bok call up?
He got man of the match yesterday- which is quite a feat given the caliber of both teams that played.

Sharkbok Kwagga was fantastic. How about a place on the ben ch. Give him 20 minutes!!

Kwaggatjie 'n baie mooi loose forward....probablly the best for a long time....like in the old days when flanks were really strong and tough like Jan Ellis and Piet Greyling and weight was not the issue , hence the great no 8 Tommy Bedford,

the problem here is that Kwaaga has some rather unique abilities - the topmost of which is that HE IS A THINKING PLAYER with top BALL SENSE. He also has pace and ball skill abilities.
That combination separate him from duds like Louw, Cassiem and Mohoje insofar as loose forward play is concerned.
However, if I am not careful and stupid I would argue against his selection and become an idiot similar to our national coach who would not recognize talent even if it hits him ibn the face. One can only have pity on the idiot we have as a coach.

He's got a similar skill set than Chris Cloete. Good player indeed.

Whereas Cloete has good qulaities himsef - he is n entirely different kind of player than Kwagga. In somne aspects they are on par - but Smith is street aheads of him as an openfield ball player. Cloete is muc h like Louw used to be before he went into decline.

He could be the smallest loose forward of the professional era. If Stephanie is playing at 7- we could afford a smaller loosie.
Maybe put Kolisi at 8, Albertus at 6- with Stephanie at 7.
Louw at 32 will probably not make the next world cup. He has not made much impact this season. Maybe he needs more game time- or maybe he is just done at international level

Mike, I was thinking: Fast off the mark, deadly tackler and good competitor on the deck. Kwagga might be the better open field runner, but Cloete is pretty fast too.

Well if we were willing to try Notshe....why not Kwagga.

Louw has gone backwards over the last three years and it is clear that he is not the loosie he sued to be. He will be out of contention next year.
