SA Super 15 rookies

Cheetahs: Former Blitzbokke man Cornal Hendricks has the bulk of a centre (6 ft 2 in, 90kg) but the speed, endurance and silky skills of a Sevens player, which could make him deadly out wide for the Cheetahs. (Gallo Images)

The other guys highlighted are Marnitz Boshoff, Handre Pollard,Cheslin Kolbe and Tim Sweil.

Hendricks I am hoping will prove a sensation. Boschoff has loads of talent. Kolbe is very gifted but needs to play scrummie. Both Pollard and Sweil have great talent- particularl y Sweil but again can he survive Super 15 rugby being so small.

The best rookies are the following-

Sharks -  Swiel, Esterhuizen, Fisher, Williams

Stormers  - Van Wyk, Kolbe - maybe too small as a qing

Lions - Hanekom, Jaco Kriel 

I do not think Hendricks can be regarded as a rookie - he was constantly on the bench for the Cheetahs last  and had quite a bit of game time.

I do not rate Pollard as a flyhalf - he is a Morne Steyn clone - and that is bad news.
