If Am doesn't wreck his knee I'm 2023 before the RWC,who on this forum was going to select Kriel over him? He was probably the best 13 in the world at the time. Am's injury opened the door for him.He didn't smash it down.
Duh Allende and Kriel may have the highest bok center partnership but its also been the most dull, blunt, flaccid even, attacking pair.
Also, all these posters that are clutching their pearls about players being derided after the contributions they made towards winning World cups, Tri-nations, Lions series and Rugby Championships need to drop their stones and step out of their glass houses. I've been a member of this forum for a hot minute now and remember the flack that Matfield, John Smit, Jacques Fourie and even Eben recieved.
