 Serfontein isn't a small guy and none of those players have dominated him (SBW hasn't played him) in Super Rugby or in tests. Fofana has succeeded due in part for his selfishness, he doesn't create much for the players outside him. He takes some effort by opposition to take down, Meyer needs to utilize him more in attacking moves as he more often than not beats the first defender and get's the team on the front foot.
Serfontein reminds me a lot of Conrad Smith as their both incredibly rugby savvy. I'll leave it by saying to wait until he settles at 12 to cast a final judgement.

 Wardad I fear we tend to play down to the opposition, last Saturday being a prime example. But I think the lads will be okay on Saturday. 
Shezza I think Jean de facto played 13 last weekend and certainly Step got the  ball as much as he did.....to be honest I thought they both were pretty toothless. Time will tell.

We were playing from deep because our pack wasn't dominating so our backline couldn't get going. Doesn't help when you have a scrumhalf who completely lost it.

The video shezza posted for instance shows exactly what is needed at inside centre . The ability to run on to the ball with pace and offload like that. De Villiers has been lacking in those aspects of the game. Serfontein is a talented player, a natural 12 as he's shown in the June tests, S15 and Junior world cup. Put him back in his regular position at 12 then we'll see more of that brilliant class.

Rubbish Jan is a class act and is by far the best young 12 in the game.......he has shown every attacking attribute out there and has really good strength for a 98kg lad.

 

His pace is more than enough for a test 12
