Luke Watson is playing better rugby than any other loosy in S.A (except maybe Juan Smith)and I hope that he gets picked for the springboks. Jake White said he’s looking for an adjudant for Schalk, well, luke’s your man. Solly ain’t up to it and please, show me a better fetcher flank than luke. The Guy is in the same class as Wickus Van Heerden – he gives everything everytime. I’m a big fan, last season he was horrible but he has turned it around and without him the stormers wouldn’t even have won one match.

He is a good player so why not add him to our team — it can only benefit us!

Ok, so you mentioned about the crappy Cats but I’m still right about the Stormers…

Again, the Lions are denied a cover. Why??? And don’t tell me it’s because the Cats are ****. The Stormers are too, even if they beat the Reds.

Watson is like Andrew Hudson.
One good game in 2 years against the force and now JW MUST pick him?

At least pick him ahead of the bumbling Roussow who can’t even catch a ball and always loses it in contact.

Watson deserves a place in the Bok squad. If Jake does not pick him then its obviously for personal reasons and pretty petty if you ask me.

The issue with Luke’s Boks aspirations are that at this point in time the Open Side flank hasalready pencilled as a quota stronghold, you’ll see clowns such as Solly, Dulane and to a certain extent Kabamba Floors being ‘Boks’ long before Luke, this is the new SA reality and got nothing to do with Luke’s rugby game!
He would be better off if sat out his WP contract and then went on to play in Oz!

It’s simple, Jake basically knows his squad and unless a few guys get injured, watson will not play. it’s sad but true. he doesn fit into the game plan, like brent russel. and would you choice him over sowerby? who would come in 8 and perhaps shift Van niekerk to 7, you never know what jakes got in mind.

luke play for the chockers … white loves his boys from the ermmmm mountain

Come on, Luke is very talented and has had a few very good games, but so what? Botes for me has been the guy really lighting up the park, and he is a similar player to Luke, but even though I am a Shark supporter, I would be surprised if he was in the mix this year. One good season is not enough (De Waal, Steyn, Grant, etc), and we have plenty of good loosies. Anyway, which of the current boys (bar perhaps Cronje)deserves to be dropped? And its not just his size or Jakes faith in his present crop keeping him out, so lets not criticise Jake if Luke is not picked.

If the Boks were to play the All Blacks at some hastily prepared Freedom Day celebration next week, would you play Watson or not?

yes Munkiboi,

think that about right, whats interesting tho is that I see wickus has been moved to 6 for the Cats after JW’s involvement.

Might be a good move, Wickus workrate is phenomenal, and he’s a good leader, but not the size and impact JW wants for a test 7. Think JW’s 7 are AJ, Smit, Cronje or Rossouw.

Guys

Watson will not get chosen.

JW has how many current Springbok flanks.
Pedrie, J Cronje, Danie Rossouw, Schalk, Juan.

He loves consistency. Things wont change and this is why we will see the majority of the Stormers backline back in the Boks.

Besides his big mouth Jake wants a big and physical no.6 to get to the breakdown and 1) slow the ball down (obviously) and 2) commit opposition players to the ruck to drive the man off the ball. Schalk does this well, he has the physical strength to stand over the ruck – on his feet – and force 2 or 3 players to the ruck to push him off.
Sorry but I can’t see Luke doing that…

Schalk is Jakes 1st choice 6, and Big Joe is his second. Luke will get picked only if Schalk gets injured in the next 3 games, or Big Joe breaks down again.

Guys competing for the 7/8 slot are – Cronje, Wannenberg, AJ, Juan, van Heerden and of course Joe who can play 6, 7 and 8 – hence Jake will always pick him. Danie Rossouw will also be utility forward.
