Yep Moz Ackerrs got that one wrong and it cost them the game.Van Rooyen should be in the squad ahead of Marcell. Trevor also struggled.Best props are Stormers props, Beast and Lions oaks.

You are correct about Van der Merwe and Nyakane. However, the latter was used as a Tighthead by the Bulls thus far this year and was shifted to loosehead today - he obviously experienced problems as a result.
Van der Merwe is not a good enough scrummager - even though Saffex will deny it. However, it is not only scrumming that counts in the case of props - it is also what they do in other facets of the game that counts. I noticed that Van der Merwe did not meet actual requirements in both scrumming and outside of scrumming.
On the other hand I looked at Malherbe as well. The scrumming was a disaster for the Cheetahs when he was on the field of play. During the whole first half there was no completed scrum and Oosthuizen gave away three penalties scrumming against Malherbe. The latter had the highest tackle count of any forward in both the local derbies. His tackle stats indicated he took 17 tackles during the 60 minutes he was on the field of play. So Malherbe ticked all the boxes on the day.

Just such a pity you clowns know absolutely nothing about prop play much like the ref. Since when is it legal to scrum inwards and upwards as v/ Rooyen did every time and correctly pointed out by Kempson in commentary. It was a disgrace the way the ref failed to pick that up.
Funny how when v/Rooyen left and Marcel faced Fourie where the battle was legal Marcel got the better of Fourie.
v/Rooyen cheats at ever scrum he scrums up.....he never beat or popped Marcel at all he scrummed upwards and cheated.
I take it you all had the volume down when Kempson said as much??
