Fuirst of all we saw yesterday agins what a quality player Pollard really is when he came from the ebnch for the Bulls.  He scored a try himself and made another one trhough a strategic kick.


We have Lambie who showed his class in the last two tests and we can be sure that he has all the attributes one needs from a top class flyhalf.


We have Goosen who yesterday scored a try himself for racing metro and who was insturmental in scoring another one.   I did not see the latter macuh - but according to ESPN - he carried the ball  8 times for a net teritory gain of 51 meters - making one line break, beat 3 defenders and off-loaded the abll effectively twice.


On the positve side we also have Boshoff - who - while not on teh saame level as the mentioned three is a handy play7er as well.


Then we have the Steyns - the one as bad as the other - regular saboteurs of backline play by the Springboks.   We are lcuky that there are alternatives and that we do not need them in future.

 Mike add Jaco Van Der Walt, class player. Everyone needs to watch this kid, bit on the small side but his tackling technique is superb and can run the ball better than Lambie but not as good as Goosen.

Yeah v/d Walt looks good for the Lions not sure what he was doing at 15 with Boshoff at 10.
It's better the other way round

A few weeks ago I wrote that Van der Walt should seriously consider mocing to another Super 15 franchise where he can develop or be the first choice flyhalf f that franchise.   Ti my mind he should go to the Stormers - he is better than either Catrakillis or any pother flyhalf in their employ.

 Agreed on the 10 and 15 spots for the Lions.
I have seen v/d  Walt in the SA schools side and he was outstanding.
Perhaps he needs a season of CC and S16 under his belt.
I predict that he will be second choice at #10 next year this time.
Pollard being first choice.

That depends entirely on whether he is used properly in Super 15 - hence my suggestion that he should move to a franchise where he would get reaosnable game time.
