Am is a real class player - the best of the 4 by some distance - by 4 I mean him, AE, DA and Jessie
Am had the touch and rugby IQ that set him apart
I find it strange how post an injury, Jessie has leapfrogged him in the pecking order when clearly Am was the favoured choice pre the injury
I get the feeling Am has just not been given a good opportunity to reclaim his rightful spot as our best 13 - yes he has not set the world alight since his return but then again nor has Jessie.
I would have liked to have seen more investment in Am over Kriel post his injury as he is the far better player
The exact same applies to Reinach over Faf - makes absolutely no sense at all
Nortje over RG and Lood is another
At least we have seen Koch replaced by Thomas and Wilco - which is the correct call

He was a great player when he was in his prime and rendered top class performances forr the Springboks - so we must be thankful for the contrbutions he made in the two RWC; and th othr testshe played in.
The Sharks badly needs a quality flyhalf and there may be some around from the Varsit Cup teams after the sdents complete heir studies and should be recruitable to replace AM.
There surely would be a duplicare of Matthee of the Stormers floating around to recruit, .
