While our sides are failing to assert themselves on the scoreboard we are coming close and there is nothing in it.

Players that have been impressing me are:

Lions:

Nohamba at 9 and 10, have always rated him as a 9, but has shown versatility being able to play at 10

Emmanuel Tsituka - love this guy, a real talent

Ruben Schoeman at lock - a hard man

Ntlabakayne - the monster tighthead - great contributor despite his size - how good would he be 20kg lighter?

Ruan Delport looks a good prospect at lock

Sharks:

Fassi at 15 has been good, looks bigger and with it a better defender

Dyantyi has shown glimpses of why he became a Bok

Corne Rahl and Emile v Heerden at lock - both look good prospects, high work rates - both need to add bulk

Richardson at hooker who is also a 6. This lad is super powerful

Mchunu at loosehead - very good in general play, probably needs to bulk up a bit more to take the next step.

Buthelezi at 8 - big fan of this talented player, need him playing 6

Bulls:

Sebastian de Klerk on the wing, is quick and a good acquisition from the Pumas

Gans at 13 looks good, has a great step and has bulked up to a respectable 96kg’s

David Kriel at 12 - our Jordie Barrett - 6’5 with a good rugby brain and busts tackles

Papier looks back to his best

Gerhard Steenkamp at 1 - the guy is a beast - will be a good Bok as Ox’s backup

Wilco Louw - powerhouse in the scrums, the Boks could have done with him, better option than Koch

Ruan Vermaak - rate this guy at lock - big and physical

Elrigh Louw - he is back to his powerful best

Hanekom at 8 looks the real deal

Stormers:

Gelant at 15 has shown some of those touches that have me salivating.

Sacha at 12 but probably should be at 10 - this kid oozes class - that football skill try he scored is next level

Jantjies at 9 looks to have rediscovered his form

Ruben v Heerden - this guy has Bok written all over him as a 4 or 5 so much better than Mostert

Andre Smith at 4 another big physical SA lock

Jason-Dixon - big fan of this guy

Roos looks hungry and back to his best

Morabe at 8 or 7 looks a good prospect
