Sunday Star Times | April 27, 2008 – 6:09PM

New Springboks coach Peter de Villiers has been forced to shut the door on many of the side’s World Cup winning stars ahead of this year’s international season.

Players like Victor Matfield, Butch James and Percy Montgomery now ply their trade in Europe and the South African board has limited De Villiers to a maximum of three overseas-based players.

World Cup winning captain John Smit, who now plays for French club Clermont, has already been named captain.

“John Smit, best hooker 2007, best Captain 2007, WC winning hooker and captain 2007. Only an idiot would disagree.”

Then there must be many idiots around because there are numerous people who do not agree that he is the best hooker (unless you mean the best hooker in Natal perhaps). For starters the people at his club in France do not agree as even before his injury he could not make their starting team as a hooker.

You can call people such as Roger Federer and Tiger Woods the best in the world because in their sports there is a. objective ranking system that proves it but in rugby we only have subjective opinions. Those who do not share our opinions are not idiots.

Don’t misinterpret, i like Marius Joubert and everything, but he’s just not that.

For Smit, he’s been playing prop all season. Mainly because there’s a better hooker than him in the club: Mario Ledesma (arguably best hooker in the world). But at tighthead he’s done well.
I surely think that he’ll leave France and go back to the Sharks at the end of the season.

Sharks please give him a big contract as you certainly need him in the team . Lineouts are not good at the moment and there is NO leadership in the team!
