Ummm . . . and you think he's got faster as he's got older?

The issue when he was 22 according to Mozzz was his speed. That is what this thread began on. 

Hahahahahahaha hilarious stuff from Mozzzz.

Okay, so you're saying he's a better player but he's still slower than a prop or even a snail?
Got it.

Hey, Rooi... Remember when you and I both agreed that Eben was a poser?

No, I don't.
Why are you trying so hard to change the subject? Is it because you're not much more than a Servile Gimp who's sucking up to his master even when he has a face full of egg  after demonstrating what a conceited and self-important blowhard he is?

Oh, you don't remember? Lol that's one of the only times on this board you ever agreed with me. And then Eben managed to become better during the Coetzee era...which was an achievement all on its own. You say changing the subject...I say expanding on it.

Yes unfortunately this remains a problem for Esterhozen …..he is vulnerable on the outside. So definitely not a candidate for 13. But in 2019 I said:

‘ Esterhozen was slow in 2016 and three years later he remains slow. But he has upped his skill set defensively and in the offloading stakes. In the meantime we have run out of other viable options.’

In the interim he has become perhaps the best offloading centre in rugby …..a creative player, who makes others better around him. 

It’s important to have opinions, but also allow them to evolve, while maintaining scrupulous honesty.

Stick with moz and Plum.
