….Ethan Hooker. The highball that kid controlled with ease, his power running and ball presentation and that brilliant run up the gut. What a performance from a rookie.But it’s his high ball control that had the biggest effect, he nullified the ABs left side kicking game

Bullshit, Moz.


JJ was far better.


He was gliding on his sofa in Durban.

Hey cunce


This Ethan bloke looks the real deal.

Havent seen him play before but took to international rugby like a fuckin fish to water.


Your man Rassie has unearthed another fuckin gem blokes.


He’s really strong and has some tazzy gas to burn.

Indeed Jar


TBH, everybody here said he looked set to be a Bok.


...all but one poster, who described him as "robotic" and "nothing special".


We're pretty much unanimously stoked for the boy.

Ethan was extremely good. He will definitely also get better the more tests he plays.


But my MOM will be Wilco with his excellent contributions at scrum time!! Also because props hardly get rewarded which I find pretty unfair.

One thin g pel;ase I would pick Hooker as a wing - which is the position he is best in. Have always been a Hooker supporter and had him in my Fantasy team in Round 4. He has some real pace - but is not physical enough.to play qt 12 where he has wasued by the Sharks when St Esterhuizen the dead head was not available.
