Midfield magicians

Jean de Villiers and Jaque Fourie are the centre combo to win us the World Cup.
The dynamic duo appear on the cover of the latest issue of SA Rugby magazine, on sale at CNA, Exclusive Books, Spar, most Pick n Pays and leading newsagents.
They explain why they work so well together even though they don’t come from the same union, how they adapt to different defensive patterns and why it’s frustrating to play out of position in the Super 14.
Also in the new issue of SA Rugby mag:
– Special reports on the Southern Spears shambles and Falcons revival
– What Jake White has learnt from Prozone over the last year
– Cobus Visagie on Deon Carstens and bad referees
– We spend a day in Christchurch with Dan Carter
– Matt Giteau on his record deal with the Force
– Why Jaco van der Westhuyzen’s the complete package
– How Dick Muir saved the Sharks
– Currie Cup kings: Brad Barritt, Neil de Kock, Ryno van der Merwe and Morne Styen
– At home with BJ Botha
– Nick Mallett on the Tri-Nations, Naas on the Currie Cup
– Up close and personal with Ruan Pienaar

The Aussies have a few brilliant centres.

Having watched the bumbling Bok backline, the ABs sans Carter and the Aussies sans Larkam, I think that regardless how good your centres are, if they aren’t getting good ball from a very good #10, the backline goes nowhere

In my opinion Aaron Mauger is the best inside centre in world rugby at the moment. Followed closely by Jauzion of France. AB’s really miss Umaga’s experience and the oke to replace him broke his leg. What’s his face? Conrad Smiff i fink…

Agree on the #10. If #10 do not shape, you can have 10x Giteau and Mortlock and all the other magicians of world rugby in the team, and you backline will suck.
We know we have a problem at #10 in ZAF – why don’t we take some calculated risks now (and replace FdP with somebody who provide quick ball while we’re at it) – it can surely not go worse than the present situation?

He is not serious about bringing Marious Joubert back is he?
If so I will have to break all his fingers so he never plays again.
