Came across this on SARugby mag.....any comments: ' Carr’s teammate Juan de Jongh won his battle against former Cheetahs captain Francois Venter, who played the entire 80 minutes in his first game for the Warriors.'

De Jongh had a good game at 12 with Daly outside him.

Excellent line speed and made some very good tackles. Missed one by maybe being to quick and shooting out of line otherwise a good run out. 

Venter looked very good at 13 with some determined running and lines. 

Very sloppy game from both teams however.

Does he still do the Dejong celebration when he scores?

I thought Frans was. They can't both be the worst. 

de Jongh was always a smart defender. At test level not so good at 12, but very good at 13.

Not sure of I know what you mean. On De Jongh specifically or just the SA players in the premiership?

If I had to find fault with Juans game on the weekend it might be his reluctance to give the pass under pressure. He needs to back himself and his skills to go for it. 

Sometimes it's self belief that holds you back.

Don't mean to impose.....but any observations on the Saffas playing for Wasps from your more involved perspective, would be of interest.

No worries. 

Going to be a tough run out this weekend as Wasps host Exeter.

Sopoanga and Shields to make their debuts as well and hopefully bring some of that AB luck with them.
