Moz, I don't have time to go into it in detail, that's why I used Chat, but there are a myriad of other reasons why you are wrong about PSDT, Rassie, DdA  and a few others...I pray God gives me the time to show yo u the way...

ButtPlug's TV, from before TVs could record. It has just been launched on Meton

What we saw today, was another poor performance by the Sharks.

A total lack of breakdown skills has been exposed in South Africa.
We can only assemble a test team of forwards who can compete at the ruck, but not at club level

Lol I'm obviously not he done struggling with the concept of recording. I believe the term you are looking for is "saving", Fattex. Anyway, since it's now Monday and you recorded al luge games this weekend, care you provide us with your list of new Boks? I'm sure you added another 10-20 to the list this weekend. There's a new chap playing for Kuruman co-ed on Saturday. He's only 15, but you may as well put him on the list already...I'm mean, he's going to run onto Antony field in SA soon, and perhaps make a couple of tackles, so that should qualify him for you list. On PSDT. He stands out because of the role he has. He has far more freedom than anyone else in the side. He's allowed to rush out of the line and hit backs. Obviously you would notice this more. And those are, without fail, his most impactful plays. Moz is absolutely correct in saying he is a lock, not a loosie. For a loosie, he is bad and linking play, doesn't have great hands and doesn't track back enough. He just doesn't have the attributes for that. Compare that to Roos or Hannekom. They are born loosies and you notice how they constantly keep up with play, in attack and defence. You notice how they play linking roles, attack ground ball, break tackles and offload. PSDT has lots of heart and he suffered a mega injury earlier in his career. He played a big role in the WC 2023 win and he's been in good touch for the last three seasons. I couldn't be happier for him. But, if you ask me to provide you with evidence of him being a stellar loose forward, I would struggle to provide such. Ask me to provide you with example of him engaging in good lock play, and I'll be able to do that because that's basically what he does when outside of his mandate to kill 10s.

Yes that captures it very well. And watching Kolisi again on Saturday, the imbalance in our loosie trio is obvious, Marx and Vermeulen plugged a lot of the gaps.

Nobody is faulting your passion. But the list we could do is to point out that you're a little over confident in the talent pool.

So many lists, so little time

Thankfully, for most of the South African public, at list we have a brilliant coach like Rassie to work through all these incredible players being pumped through the school system
