Luke Watson played well today, as like he has done at times for the Sharks and Stormers.

Some would disagree, but then judgement is often clouded as he does not win many popularity contests.

Also South Africa has unlimited depth in the position of loose forward.

Watson started the game with some clever offloads and good in general play, he was making a good cover tackle when he got an elbow in the throat. He carried on playing but eventually left the field.

Good player, but not a bok. If he can forget the sideshows, he'l do well with and for the Kings. I for one has no problem with him as a player, its the other stuff that's the problem.

He has always been a test quality flanker, but sadly let politics dictate. He has the ball skills of a back

Thankfully you are not a Springbok selector.

Well said AJ.   Luke is nowhere near Bok standard and on merit should never come near. I say that objectively and ignoring his various remarks for which he has apologised in any case.
