    A few comments on the Lions Bulls game

    1.) Jaco Kriel IS Bok quality
    2.) The same for Warren Whiteley
    3.) Faf de Klerk should be given a run at Bok no 9, he must be in the group after the WC
    4.) Spies is playing very well, we’ve been waiting for that for a long time
    5.) The back three lost its potency without Hougie, if we didn’t lose Piet we would have scored more tries
    6.) Flip brings back grunt in the tight five, we don’t need to play Dean anymore
    7.) Trevor should always start, time for Dean to play Vodacom Cup
    8.) Odendaal can basically break the line at will, he’s a welcome change after Janneman’s crash balling
    9.) Arno played like a demon, if his knee holds up he will be in the Bok team
    10.) Mnisi looked dangerous with ball in hand, he’s a prospect for after the WC

    Japan is not so bad, we can only hope some of these guys can come back for Super Rugby.

    Like Skop-vir-die-kantlyn Dewald?

    I saw he was starting to play for the first time in a long time but I didn’t want to jinx it

    @ Victoriabok:

    I think he is motivated by the competition provided by all the Bulls loosies and trying to impress potential employers
