    Very broad topic.

    Does it have to be Boks? Do they have to have played minimum amount of tests?

    Anycase, the main criteria I look for in any position is someone who is or was a potential match winner, or super talented.

    2. Smit (c)
    3. Adrian Garvey
    4. Bakkies
    5. Mark Andrews
    6. Schalk Burger
    7. Andre Venter
    8. Gary Teichman
    9. Fourie du Preez
    10. Lem
    11. Pieter Rossouw
    12. Dick Muir
    13. Jaque Fourie
    14. James Small
    15. Percy

    2@smallies72

    Good team! Lem was maar flippen goed.
    Guys, remember only 15 players.

  • 6

    3@Morné

    Interesting. You rate Slaptjips better than Habana?
    It was difficult for me to choose between Joost and FDP. But I believe FDP has more skills.

  • 7

    @Supa Die Bloubul

    The ability to turn a game in an instant.

    Slaptjips had a Frans Steyn freakish ability in his rugby.

  • 8

    @supa hoe kies ek tussen juan en andre en vandag is da 22 in die span have a hart

  • 9

    @Supa Die Bloubul

    I remember Ian Mac once saying Rossouw is the player you always want to play for you, and not against you, he would always pick him.

    Unbeknowst to most as-well, Pieter was/is credited with quite a good rugby brain on him even though he looked as dof as they come, has the ability to read the game like very few…

    In fact – he is coaching Habs now… 😉

  • 10

    @Morné

    Habana has that ability also. About Steyn, read an article the other day about how they rate him in Europe. Not often you get a guy that kicks them over from 60m out!

  • 11

    @Supa Die Bloubul

    Cannot agree, the only thing Habs has over Pieter in my view is pace.

  • 12

    8@smallies72

    hehe…okay smallies, ek verstaan. Ek moes kies tussen druggie Joost en FDP, so ek verstaan dis moeilik.

  • 13

    @Supa Die Bloubul

    Fourie hands down.

    He has all the skills and more.

    Joost till his last playing days still struggled to pass to his right…

  • 14

    9@Morné

    99% of coaches would say that about Habana as well.

  • 15

    11@Morné

    Habana has scored some amazing tries at the right moments, thus my choice.

  • 16

    13@Morné

    Yep, thats why I opted for FDP. But Joost broke around the ruck and scrums more.
    FDP has everything though, I always picture him as this guy standing over a chess board and deciding all the play, tactics etc in the game.

    Nee Smallies, nou pick jy darem heeltemal te veel. Ek vra vir 15, dan gee jy my 37!
