Interesting pick at 10. I didnt expect him to be fast tracked into the bok like up ahead of Masuka, Nohamba or even Libbok. 


Apparently we as fans are looking in the wrong areas. I saw a recent stat that he is the best tackler above all the other 10s. He had apparently a great kicking game and his kicking average is slightly above Libbok. Nohamba only has 60% tackle success rate.

Springbok history shows us that very few players ever get selected after 1 good season.

If Nohamba and Masuku have another good year, bet your bottom dollar they’ll be in the mix.

Further to that, coach picked players that suit a plan.

The coaching staff has access to a wealth of analytics that we'll never have. If they pick someone there's likely to be a sound rugby reason behind it.

Could it be that Libbok just blew the Stormers QF.

Hey...which member of the board wasn't looking in the wrong place?

Rassie is just doing what I say at this point.

Nohamba can’t tackle at 10 should only be considered at 9
