How about giving us a breakdown of the provinces from which these players originate, i.e. where did they play as school boys?
Maybe then Free State and Border would have better representation?

Banana Man
After he broke his neck playing.
Pity. Showed a lot of promise as a player.
But the good news is he’s still alive and thriving!

Puff, he had oodles of talent…as you say good to see him in the mix…

Grass struggles to grow on the arid mole-riddled soil in Saldanha. Why ever hold a training camp in such a barren place?

Hey Windhoek
Don’t stop there, go back before the big schools started scouting and offering burseries to get the boys to go their school.
It really does not matter…

#6 banana man: After that neck injury he was told by the doctor to stay away from contact. I am glad that the Bulls kept him in a job there. As a ex bok that is the people we want to keep in Rugby admin, instead of politicians.
he was getting in top form before that unfortunate injury.

Can someone please tell me if the Ebersohn twins are still under 20, as well as Nick Koster… and if so, why weren’t they picked??
And what happened to that monster prop that represented WP at Craven Week last year… Ruan Smith i think his name was…???
Anyone know how Wilton Pieterson is doing?

#4 THE MAULER: The scrumhalf who played some Super 14 overseas? Think he’s just out of U20 ranks this year.

What position does Pieter Rossouw de Klerk play…could it be slappies II?

#10 The Bill: Of course it matters … why should it not be known where the talent is actually from.
Have your say
