"Arendse is very much in the same mould as Aplon and his defence is good…."
As is Edwill vd Merwe, just n bit bigger...we've got plenty of steppers.
Moola, just throw in the towel. You are out of your depth.
moolaa, please don't make the mistake of thinking that Doos XL's laughable views represent the average South African. I don't know anyone who would even compare Nonu and Esterhuizen let alone claim Esterhuizen was the better player.
Doos XL is . . . ummmm . . . let's just say different. It's not just his spectacularly unique belief that Esterhuizen is better than Nonu, he also thinks Zane Kirchner was better than Israel Folau or Morne Sten was better than Dan Carter. He once said that the only job of a flyhalf was to pass the ball to his inside centre . . . .and he thought Schalk Burger would make a good flyhalf.
I'm not making any of this up. That is honestly the extent of this rugby noob's knowledge. Just so you know, we also all laugh at him . . . especially when he gets all tearful and indignant when no-one recognises him as the rugby guru he thinks he is.
By the way, while I certainly rate Ma'a Nonu, I do think Tana Umaga was the best All Black centre of the modern era and I also think Nganai Laumape was very underrated and should have had a lot more caps.
Nonu was never known for his finesse, and that's why SBW was flirted with for a time. He ran good lines, and is a great legend of the game. However, he was not the most powerful centre. Esterhuizen has greater power by far, and has far better skills. That's not an opinion, that's observable facts. Mrs Searle is the same clown who has been beaten from pillar to post in any actual rugby discussion for most of his/her life. A lot of that time spent bitterly envying Mozart. Listening to Mrs Searle is the end of rational thought.
'Card give up ......... Nonu.
