Nick Koster

@canrugby, he seen by many including Rassie Erasmus as top quality and the potential to be amonst the top in the game. Initially he was played at wing instead of as a loose foward as it was less physical and he had the speed to play as a wing. He then started getting injury prone and spent allot of time out the game. He was later moved back to being a loose forward where he was playing very well until another injury. It started to become clear that his body is not strong enough for the top level. With his bok hopes dashed and spending more time injured, he was signed by Gary Gold at Bath. His injury had never really healed and he then spent more time injured. I read that Gary Gold just wants him to get playing time and build his confidence. Not sure what will happen with him.He is probably more suited to the Southern Hemishpere conditions as when fit he is highly mobile but might lack the grunt for the premiership. 

Nick Koster . . . yet another very ordinary Stompies loose forward who was hyped up by the Cape Town media . . . much like Barbie Skinstad, Skulk Burger, Corne Krige and Francois Louw. 
Ordinary plodders that the Western Province spin doctors try to make us believe are international rugby superstars . . . usually with comical results!  

 Rooi, why so bitter? Did a WP bloke shag your high school sweetheart?
