Thanks oom

"It’s almost impossible to believe that Damian de

Allen

de once divided opinion. Critics either argued that his passing was poor or that he refused to pass entirely. Despite the noise, he has excelled and is now in the conversation around the greatest inside centres to have pulled on a Springboks jersey. Dynamic in the carry, his midfield partnership with Jesse Kriel - the most-capped centre duo in South Africa’s history - has proved instrumental across this dynastic run. Perhaps the most solid argument for De

Allen

de’s continued class is the fact that André Esterhuizen has played only 27 matches for the Springboks in seven years. DG"

hahahahahahahaha!

And Andre Esterhuizen is ranked like 97 or something.

Jasper is ranked somewhere in the 50s, Kurt-Lee is somewhere in the 70s, Wilco low is also way down somewhere in the 50s I think.

No coach, in this dimension or any other, doesn't have Wilco as the first name on the sheet of he's available.

These lists are almost as retarded as the people that buy into them.

"De Allende recorded a 73% gainline success rate for South Africa in 2025, the best rate of any centre from a Tier One nation (min. 50 carries)."

Alas poor mampara Plumster continues to take a beating on his Allende Dersngement Syndrome problem.

Like Mampara Mozietard's whacked out lunacy regarding Erasmus and Du Toit Mampara Plumster just keeps doubling down on his nonsense just like Mozzietard does on his nonsense. Both think they are right and the Rugby World is all wrong. Hahahahahahahahahahaha

All of which perfectly illustrates the fact that bad company undermines good Judgement. Bwahahahahaha. Truly hilarious!!!

So, do you guys agree that Wilco, Andre and Kurt-Lee should be that low in the rankings?

No...any rankings of this kind are highly speculative and subjective...but it's not total nonsense either.

I do not agree with the le ranking of Esterhuizen - as a loosie I will put him in the 40-ties - as a center his rankin g where it is at present,

I would definitely rate Wilco as a highly rated prop - but urt Lee has gone down in performances this year.

As to Hooker I always though t he would be a top class 13 and the match last S aturday prove that as well. He should be used aat 13 and he would move up to the top 20. I see Hooker becoming the top 13 in world rugby by the end of 2026 - if used in tests in that position.
