The Silky hands of Earl Jantjies

 Where is Timo Swiel? Is it not time to bring him in at flyhlaf than play Duvunge at 10 instead of the Slippery hands of Jantjies

 so Silky hands has been dropped from the Springbok squad. 

Roumour has it he is going back to the Lions next year regardless of whether they are in the SuperXV or not

Would not be surprised if after completion of Super 15 see Jantjies moving back to the Lions,   The Stormers paid a small fortune to get his services and he has been poor most of the season - he was poor again yesterday.   A very expensive contract that did not produce results at all.  

However, Swiel has vanished from the radar screen - for all I know he may be in England - but is never in the media here.   Somebody else could perhaps give us some news anout that one - I would also like to know..  

Trust Saffex watched the game on TV and not the "Jantjies" crystal ball on Saturday

If anyone still thinks that he is Springbok material then you are very mistaken...I'm afraid.

How do you manage to recover this very old item I started about five months ago? 

Anyway - you are 100% correct about yesterdays game.  He showed nothing and was a real embarrassment throughout the game.  Not that he was under constant pressure of the opposition - he was not because other than Vermeulen, the WP loosies are not known as top tacklers in any competition.

Jantjies play yesterday was planless and clueless - so back to what he did throughout Super 15 this year.   Saffex always made a statement that the Stormers somehow did not allow him to express himself and suppressed his natural talents.   I failed to see how that statement can be justified - yesterday proved clearly that the Stormers did not do it - or did the Lions take the same restrictive "measures" yesterday?

Problem is we have a player here who showed some promise in Under 20 performances - but those were not enhanced and developed further on senior level - making him a really questionable player on higher level - not a player suitable for selection to the Springbok squad and a questionable selection on Super 15 level.  It is likely that in Super 15 next year he will be more of a bench player for the Lions tan actually in the starting line up.

It will take Saffex another year or so to find out that he was chasing a pipe dream in this case.
