Didn't really talk about him after the Stormers' game.
One is always apprehensive about putting stock into U20 results and performances. Yaas-queen was instrumental in helping his team lifting the trophy.
But he was calm as hell on Friday night. Unnervingly calm, and that's almost more impressive to me than the silverware he helped win.
If I'm not mistaken, it was an injury to Jurie that caused Yaqeen to start at 10. He and Imad had probably been working together for two weeks straight, and then Imad gets injured very early in the piece and departs. Nobody would blame a guy that young, and with basically no experience, for making nervy errors given the occasion and what had transpired.
Yet he was very very cool. Of course it's early doors but there's a sense of hardnosedness and determination about how he handled things. Extremely impressive, all things considered.
Now, i know there we people that complained about Moyo being capped by the Boks. But the reality is that he also provided a calm performance against Wales, almost entirely free of error, without even a handful of pro starts to his name.
There is talk about how the school system in SA rugby has been turning into something akin to the college football system in the US. Are these babies with minds of steel evidence of that system producing the goods?
