His job was to provide physicality which he did......would he make our Bok A side bench......no chance in hell. But that was never my call, I said he was a good lock which he is. You don't get picked for Ireland on the strength of being a crap player. My point was confirmed by his selection.......that's all I needed.
Etzebeth, Lood, Willemse, PSDT, Jacques du Plessis, Lewies, Mostert, Jenkins, RG Snyman, Jean Kleyn, JD Schickerling and Ruan Botha are all better.
No I did not say that at all. I said I had an issue with Coetzee playing useless Steenkamp as Eben's lock partner at the Stormers.
The reason no doubt that Roux left for Ireland. He showed great potential at the time and looked a good prospect going forwarded, vindicated by an Irish start.
The fact that I rate that list of locks ahead of him speaks volumes for our lock stocks.....they are the best we have ever had.
The only player I have said useless Meyer lost out on as a potential Bok was CJ Stander and that's a fact.
CJ would have been ideal in the Bok side right now......better than has been Vermeulen
And you think that red card was fair do you......objectively
Let me guess that card will now define CJ in your eyes
WOW
No-one I know thought the red was justified......both went up for the ball, no malice intended......part of the game. Yellow should have been the call.
As for CJ, he is only doing a job at blindside given Heaslip is the Irish 8. CJ plays 8 for Munster where he played in SA. He is a better 8 than any of the young 8's we have in SA and far better than Vermeulen is right now.
Huge loss to SA, not only as a player but also a leader. Baby Bok captain and now Munster captain.....not bad for a 25 year old Saffa
A class act, lost to us thanks to useless Meyer who said he was too small for a test loosie.....all 1.9m of him at 115kg!!
Abouts sums Meyer up
