Just wondering what every sa thinks of Kankowski? He was always my fav sa player, with tons of potential, but hasent really gone on. If Boks were to employ a expansive gameplan, i wld pick Kankowski at 8, altho hes nt in form currently and has yet to get regular game time.


6. Brussow 7. Louwe 8. Kankowski


You could put Carr, Kolsi, Du Pleesi is up and coming to at 7.

Listen up chump ... your picks of Carr, Kolisi and Du Plessie for the Boks is absurd.

Even a brainless moron would never consider them as an option. 

Thinking that Kankowski is still up to the mark for test rugby shows your ignorance.

It's either that or your just plain stupid.

Didn't you want to include Jantjies and HouGat in the Bok team last week ... ???

Weren't they the best options in your opinion?

Thought so!!!

I rest my case.

Rather go sign on at some netball site.

Rugby is beyond you.

Kankowski is not the player he was a few years ago. He was a great flash player that added Mongrel to his game, but now it seems he has neither. 
John Plumtree was first to drop, and then Jake White followed suit 

He is no longer a starting player at the Sharks- and it is between him and wee Daniels for a spot on the bench for the Sharks. 
If all the Sharks loosies are fit, Kankowski may not even getting a bench spot.

 CleanCut getting a bit fiesty, taking a disliking to 3ku1! Clean you need to chill buddy, atleast he's talking about rugby which is better than other posters *cough*
Loosies should be: Brussow, Schalk and Vermeulen. Fantastic mixture!

Kankowski pffft! The time of the show ponies is over, neither Kanko or Spies amounted to anything spectacular on the international stage. Ok, maybe Spies did a little in 2007, but nothing since then.

 It is just a good thing that he is not called KanBull S ki, otherwise he would have started every match under the Meyer reign.

Look Kankan  was a superb talent. Every bit as good as Joe van Niekerk. I remember him running right round Jacque Fourie for a try....totally gassed him. The trouble is Bok number 8s have to play a tight game, that negated his speed and emphasized his lack of sheer Alberts like strength.

 

I said about Spies, Kankowski and Daniels they had to demonstrate open field skills to survive. Kankan could have been the world's best cover defending number 8....Hennie Muller. It's still relevant....but not coached anymore. The player has to get there by themselves. Sadly Kankan went the conven tional way and lost his mojo.

Kankowski ahead of Vermeulen - no way. Our best 8 is injured Arno Botha and I reckon Coetzee would make a good 8
