    @ Nama:
    I meant his best game back since injury.. and I didnt imply that it was all because of Cruden, but he has been consistently good enough to be the first choice after Carter, and we lose little as a team when that happens. Cruden has matured into a fine international 1st 5.
    I know you wish you guys had someone as capable in the bok side 😀

    a few years ago stormer supporters were not happy with the boks or their own gameplan but they wanted all their players in the same. same with the sharks this year and even the bulls a few years ago (but at least the bulls were winning stuff) 😛

    @ MacroBok: I’m just excited I might get to see John Smit face the haka one more time 😀

    dont worry, we persisted with picking fullbacks at centre for a few years, and that worked really well for us

    he’s not ready yet boet

    cost us a certain try on the weekend… with his pace he is perfect as an impact player, needs to mature a bit first, yes sir indeed he does

    Ruan is a scrummie, he doesn’t really excel at any of the other position, but being so skillful he can do a duty there too

    before he got picked there was a large community that complained “oh HM will never pick him he only picks safe players not to lose”

    I heard you loud and clear, not to worry
    I just tried to avoid a comment but I’ll say it anyway: please check who opposed Willie’s inclusion there?
    Its a quota issue finish and claar, by picking Willie HM was forced to drop either Mvovo, Kirchner or JP, you NEVER heard any objection here from those who know SA rugby proper?
    Did you?
    Skop for instance 😆 😆 😆
