@ Simon 102, Why didn’t we get even a mention of Smit’s 100th CAP then, Smit is a so called “STAR” (There wasn’t even an article covering the story, just a sentence or two on one of the greatest Springbok captain’s 100th cap for 1 Super 14 franchise in the linebreaks section)!!! Dissapointing…

Oh great! Another “Jague Fourie” article, I mean c’mon. This is the last guy I wanted to see on the cover. Give him a story but for goodness sakes don’t put him on the front cover!! A person knowing nothing about rugby that reads SA RUGBY MAGAZINES would think we have sevens rugby or something by the way the same players are always on the cover.

Awesome mag this month. Jacque Fourie is being missed by the Lions and I think they regret him leaving. Hey we the Stormers are just to happy – he is playing brilliant rugby.

@KZN King Shark: Shows what a Sharks fan knows. Fourie set up the first try against the Hurricanes by making three defenders hesitate, drawing them in and then flinging it wide. He also set up Habana, who fell just a meter from scoring. Let's not forget his defensive organization skills. The icing on the cake though, is that you praise de Jongh. Now that's the only problem with the Stormers backline, as soon as Grant skips de Jongh and Fourie gets the ball, the magic starts happening.

@KZN King Shark: 131. You have a point if the argument of Van der Heever's merits for selection is based on experience or his attributes as a player - there is no argument there. But if it is too difficlt to play for the Boks because of his skin colour, then that is a different can of worms.

@Heavens Game: van den Heever is too young to play for the Boks. He’s not even completed a S14 season and fans are talking about him playing for the Boks. He’s got the talent, lots of speed and good ball skills but he needs to shore up his positional play and defence. Throw him in at the deep end and he’s gonna panic like Kirchner did. Still a fine young prospect and there’s no reason why he shouldn’t play for the Boks in the future but right he’s too inexperienced. The same goes for Mapoe.

“As a white wing, Gerhard van den Heever faces immense obstacles in his quest to earn Springbok selection” – you have got to love this snippet. A concise summary of the skin-colour conundrum/balls-up that SA suffere from. From apartheid to BEE to AA to Quotas – it will always continue and there never will be an end. “Aluta” will always “continua”. At least Van der Heever will be/or is good enough to play for most International sides. Aus/England/France may beckon for Mr. Van der Heever if he would like to experience International rugby. He shouldn’t jeopardise it by playing in one of these one-offs to preclude him from choosing which nation he would like to represent in future, should he be deemed too pale to play on the wing.

@KZN King Shark: If thou speaketh of his solitary try on Saturday, you need to bear in mind this article was written way beforehand. It's not really about tries scored, it's about the value he brings to the team, methinks.

@KZN King Shark: Thank u for telling it as it is. Fourie is a good player and what he does(running hard/straight,defend) he does well.But hasnt got a creative bone in his body.secondly he DOESNT pass,just doesnt unless he has screwed up a few times by being stingy. But then again-he is a blue eyed boy on keo and to his boys.Just chaeck how many covers and stories Fourie been featured on the mag.He is the new Marius Joubert. BTW well done for keo scribes on different front page boy in this month's SA rugby-Brussow. May go out and buy this issue

Ag absolute kak Simon. Honestly. Fourie scores one try and suddenly he’s the Stormers’ saviour. Don’t make out Fourie to be what he’s not – a creative player. He’s a good hard running 13 but he isn’t creative and hardly ever offloads in the tackle. The players that are making the difference to the backline are Grant, De Jongh, Habana and Pietersen. What Fourie is good at is sucking in defenders but he’d be even better if he passed more. I think we need to be going down the same route as Aus by having a playmaker at 12. It’s a little too soon to be lauding Fourie. Jeez.
