V.D. Heever is very far away from a Bok team…on merit.

Blah blah, he is not ready yet. Habs, Aplon, Killian etc.. are way ahead of him.
Lambie will be the biggest problem. Steyn then Kirchener will keep him out

Ryan Vrede = is dit so moelik om sense te skryf? Volgende maand kan jy die jonge Lambie van die Sharks se naam probeer gat maak. Dalk droom hy om die volgende Rolls-Royce te word.

Van den Heever is in sy kinderskoene en hy, van alle mense, weet dit. Hy het baie spoed – so ook Nokwe en Mapoe. Selfs ‘n blinde kan sien dat hy nog baie het om te leer, veral op verdediging. Gee hom kans, dalk is hy ‘n volwaardige vleuel @ 2015. Hopelik het hy by Master Bryan geleer.

Van der heever should never be considered for bok colours. Any player that opts to use the WHITES ONLY entrance should be prevented from getting any recognition.. White Supremacist scum deserve abuse…

I see the Bulls have grown poep scared of me… Heini in the starting line up, diversity on the bench… LMAO

@soda: what you might be missing is that this article was written is sarugby mag targeting exactly the kind of readers like brig van zyl who are obsessed with colour!

@Brigadier Van Zyl: look brig, anyway you want to carve it, this article and the interview itself is sensationalist due to the fact that we've had the best wings on merit for the last god knows how long and those choices had nought to do with colour.

he played 13 in total. sure, maybe not starting all but he was ‘penned’ onto the team sheet even though apparently white.

and I’d be suprised if dean hall played 10 tests as a starting wing as well.

By: Brigadier Van Zyl

Brigadier Van Zyl — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 17:18:56 +0000

actually, I believe JDV probably played only 8-10 tests on the wing.

hardly a test match regular in the greater scheme of things.

@Big Hit: Also, Dean Hall was the regular left wing for two seasons (01/02). So basically Ryan is speaking out of his anu5.

by this i mean jake white thought that JDV was white not that he (jake) was white becuase obviously he would know that as his name is even white not a ‘white persons’ name’ but the actual name ‘white’. whereas jean’s name doesn’t give away his ethnicity.

@Big Hit: jake white thought he was black until one day in showers he realised his error and moved him to the white mans' position of centre.

‘Not since Nick Mallett routinely penned Pieter Rossouw’s name on the team sheet has a Springbok coach consistently selected a white wing.’

Wasn’t JDV selected on the wing for quite a few tests?

@poppa69: 389. or Argentina/England

@poppa69: 529. 2002 and 2003, but you still have the aura where Scotland are concerned no doubt

getting back to the topic…

‘I don’t think like that,’ he says, ‘I don’t think about the issues you’ve raised, or all the wingers I have to get past to make the Springbok squad. Maybe it’s naive, but I’d like to think that if I’m the best of the bunch I’ll get picked.’

‘But that hasn’t been the reality of Springbok rugby recently,’ I interject. ‘The best players sometimes don’t get picked for various reasons.’

talk about a political agenda. ryan is the white Malema.
