    Sharks side also now up, only 2 remain.

    PS! I see Jean Deysel is Captain of the Sharks Vodacom Cup side this week, so he should be back in the Super Rugby side soon.

    Hmmmm interesting stats for Goosen!

    Stats issued by the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper (via the Rugby Heaven website) this week indicate that the 19-year-old, playing his first season at this level, heads up several categories after four weeks of activity.

    Goosen is the leading points scorer, just for starters, with 65 – an eight-point cushion over the Hurricanes’ similarly raw Beauden Barrett in second spot.

    He has also kicked the most penalty goals (16), just ahead of the Reds’ now-injured Mike Harris with 15.

    Goosen also shares most conversions (seven) with all of the Chiefs’ Aaron Cruden and compatriots Morne Steyn (Bulls) and Pat Lambie (Sharks).

    Always renowned for the prodigious distance he gets off his boot, whether from the tee or out of hand, the Cheetahs man also boasts the most kick metres (1 607m), ahead of the Stormers’ diminutive fullback Joe Pietersen (1 338m).

    As if to demonstrate that he is not just a metronomic kicker, significantly, Goosen is sixth for “most running metres” and the best flyhalf in this category (273m). Top of the pile here is the Chiefs’ ever-popular inside centre Sonny Bill Williams.

    Williams unsurprisingly also leads the category for his forte, most off-loads (11), with Goosen next best-placed with nine … only further illustrating the roundedness of his game?

    Go Cheeeethas!

    The Cheetahs will have to defend like Trojans, if their pack can’t stand their ground! With guys like Crotty, Freuen, Guildford, Dagg, and Maitland, they will be playing catchup early, if the intensity isn’t there

    @ Cheetah4eva: I’ve watched him this year. Tough to judge because of how the team plays. I’d like to see him more before I form an opinion of him. Some are already calling for a Bok cap but I think it’s a bit premature.

    Lets see how the season goes.

    Cheetah4eva on 22 March 2012 at 1:24 pm

    15 @ stormersboy,
    Agree with you, let the lad play out a year of Super rugby, and learn from it. Still an impressive start for the youngster! He just looks so comfortable at this level.

    Just For Kicks on 22 March 2012 at 2:27 pm

    @ Cheetah4eva:I just thinks it’s great to see such talent coming through. Good luck for the lad, it can only benefit every South African if he makes int through the ranks – and it certainly looks like he is well on the way to that.
