Players making a good impression

Madosh Tambwe on the wing for the Bulls is a must in the Bok squad, he has been so good for the Bulls this year - has everything - speed, step and power. The lad is pure class Willemse was excellent at 12, it’s without doubt his best position. He is now bigger and stronger which is ideal for 12 Gelant is simply irresistible this year. He is our next Willie. His ability to create something from nothing could even be better than Willie. His ability to put people into space is sensational Fassi continues to impress, that line he took to score that try was brilliant Papier is showing the form he promised as a youngster Great to see Senatla finally transferring his 7’s strike rate to 15’s - always been a class act vd Bergh at 9 for the Lions is full of energy, I also like the look of Hendrikse at 10. Gerhard Steenkamp at loosehead for the Bulls has it all. Strong in the scrums and great in general play, especially at effecting turnovers Ruben Schoeman has been very good for the Lions at lock, big physical guy. I like the look of Andre Smith of the Stormers as well. Evan Roos is next level - has to be a Bok. Is the obvious Vermeulen replacement. So much skill and power and so hungry to be in the action. One of those special players that don’t come around that often Elrigh Louw shows plenty of raw power which is always an asset. Tshituka had a great game for the Lions at 7. Thomas and Ox have been great for the Sharks

Yes young talent are starting to flourish and showing what R&N must do....M Coetzee is good right now, but so many other young talent that can do the job better I think.

Marcel has always been good but is 30 now

Marcel has lasted all season so one cannot say he is not robust enough for test rugby But given he is 30 turning 31 soon it would make far more sense investing in Evan Roos and Dan du Preez as our 8’s to replace Vermeulen

I think the du preez twins should get a bit of TLC .....they are not that bad, and might do a better job than Siya in the Rain :)

Anyone not rating the du Preez twins knows fuck all about rugby
