Sharks vs Ospreys . . .

The first possible tackler pealed off to the left…..he made no attempt to tackle. You don’t beat a tackle when it’s not attempted…same thing for biting on a dummy pass. There was an overlap.

As for stepping into the cover defense, yes he stepped to the right…not a Kolbe step, the fullback still hit him head on. Almost simultaneously the flank got him from behind.

The gas thing is nonsense. The number 14 wing who pulled out of the tackle to cover the 2 man overlap, was literally running backwards at one point, but still had enough gas to turn around and get onto Julius’ left side.

Julius did everything he could….but to suggest it showed unusual gas is just not true.

Thanks for the reference Pakie, not as detailed as we used to get from ESPN, but as you say, at least something.

It’s astonishing that all the numbers are available but there’s simply no way to access them.

Dave, you're just gonna have to accept that, at minimum, JJ needs much more time than you thought.

Here's some very basic logic for you.

JJ does have a step. Not the greatest, but he does have one. Hooker is the bigger man, by about inches and 15-20kgs.

Why do you think Hooker is being played on the wing and JJ at 13?

JJ simply doesn't have the pace for wing. Hooker does. It's that simple.

If JJ was quicker than Hooker, then Hooker would be in midfield and JJ on the wing.

And there in lay the problem for your man. 13 is the only position he can play. Now Hooker, who you apparently need to see more off can play winger, 12, 13 and very likely 15 too.

I know which one if the two I'm brining into the Bok fold if I were Rassie. And I know which one still has a hell of a lot to do to convince me that he belongs.

Wow Plum you really are rugby ignorant - so you think Hooker is on the wing ahead of JJ because he is bigger and faster?

Here is a little rugby lesson for you - JJ is at 13 as he is the better, more skilled player. You need better rugby skills to play 13 than you do wing, it’s that simple and Plumtree knows it.

There is no way in hell Hooker is quicker than JJ - JJ would leave him standing especially over the first 20m

JJ played wing for the Baby Boks in 2023, his first year out of school

So he is 15-20kg heavier - are you stupid? So JJ is 96kg and Hooker is 100kg so how the hell do you get a difference of 15kg plus huh?

Hooker is taller, so what

Hooker is a trundler, JJ glides

JJ has X factor, Hooker does not - he has heart and gets stuck in, I like that about him but I want to see more, I want to see special - solid is boring - he is another Esterhuizen or de Allende

We need creativity, some razzle dazzle at 12 - it’s why Willemse is the perfect choice for Bok 12 as he showed for the Stormers on the weekend

I want to see a Bok side filled with razzle dazzle - Fassi, Arendse, Kolbe, Edwil vd Merwe, Green, Horn, JJ, Willemse, Sacha, Libbok, Williams, vd Bergh, Nohamba, Hanekom and Roos - with some big beef to add the grunt
