A number of questions arises:-
* What is going on with Earl Silky Hands Jantjies? Is he injured or has Ackerman at last found out he is Vodacom Cup material - not good enough to play on Super 15 level?
* I think Stokkies Hanekom is not ready yet and will be ready for the start of Super 15 - is that correct?
* I saw Jaco Kriel in CC and he l ooks a very good youngster - what do you think?
