Willemse has hardly played 12 and are a established 15. That is where he has been tried and tested.
It’s absolute dreaming to want to play him at 12. AE is a far far better 12 and still has a lot of game time left in him.
Then there is David Kriel that is performing very well at 12. Even hooker is a better option there.
But luckily Erasmus sees it the same way and I really don’t think he will pick Willemse there. He is not as Naive as you guys.
The little bit of time he played at 12 today, was not good at all. As we saw today, and actually since Esterhuisen joined the sharks, that he is exactly what we need in the 12 channel.
It’s time to wake up and smell the Coffee ….

Willwmaw got injueed when scoring a try in the match against Glasgow and also an injury to Dixon not only cotrbuted to the Stormers loss but the injury of Willemse rpresents a problem 9insofar as the Springbok tour next moth.
The problem is that Willemse is the only real successer or replacment of De Allende at 12 is a real poblem
