@Pee Wee(Pee Wee)-140: Well, it depends on your point of view: If you are marooned in the wilderness, your MOST VALUABLE ASSEST might be an old used sanitary towel. They are excellent at getting a fire started......

Matfield is past it – has been for a while – some people just don’t know when to stop! He’s as valuable as a used sanitary towel!

@Agile T*t-Tyrant(Anairetes agilis)-132: Brussow has put up the best performances of any opensider in SA this year. Nobody in SA is even slightly in his class. I say this as I Bull supporter, I backed Stegmmann big time last year, but he failed. As for Schalk, watching him get swatted around like a fly is disheartening. Not the defender he used to be, not by a long shot. His work rate at test level post-2007 has been questionable as well. There is no longer a place in the team for him. I'll have Stegmann under Brussow though. That's our best option.

@Hondo(Hondo)-130:
The “debate” was about an opensider. Ashley plays blindside/8th man.

You don’t know that?

@mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-128: "Hard worker but ultimately will not get selected above more talented,bigger,stronger more efficient,less penalty-ridden incumbents" Saying they're stronger, is opinion. Saying they're bigger is fact (Louw and Burger). Saying they're more talented and efficient is debatable. Saying that he is penalty-ridden- idiotic. At least we've been debating all along. You haven't brought anything to the discussion. And you can't say he won't be selected above these, because he already has been selected above Flo and Daniel and every other loosie in the position when Burger and Brussow weren't available. But most here prefer Brussow above Burger anyway, and Stegmann is a Brussow "clone" to many here, and IMO better than Brussow anyway, and certainly better than Brussow now, and will remain so till Brussow can demonstrate otherwise. @rangerman(rangerman)-129: Thanks, I think. And cheers for real.

@sparticus(sparticus)-99: Adi Jacobs (12, 14, 13), Jantjes, Rose (10 & 15), Newman, Odwa, Nokwe, Britz, Grant, Olivier, Bekker (pap in every test), Watson, Mujati, Reubenheimer, Johnson (Pap in 09), Carstens, Bobo, Januarie, Chavangha, Conradie, Kankowski (6, 7, 8), Butch James (12), Frans (15 & 13), Pienaar (10 and 15), Rossouw (6), Smit (1 and 3), Morne (15), Chiliboy, Adams, Maku, Jean (14), Hargreaves, Hargreaves, Deysel (utterly destroyed up North), van der Merwe (big disappointment, utterly destroyed), Louw (humiliated consecutively throughout the TNs, did well against Italy in 2nd test though, after an embarrassing first test), Basson (Did not adapt to test level at all)... I could probably find some more. In every poor selection de Villiers has ever made, he has a better option available. That's the biggest gripe, he can not moan about not having better players available at those times. Instead it has nearly always been stubborn idiocy.

@nama1(nama1)-125:
If Brussow is injured, you need Steggie: speed at the first phase of the break down by a little man is a must in today’s Test, like it or not
It means among other that you can’t play Spies or Kankowsky in the same combo with Brussow/Steggie, nontheless I am sure you penciled in already that tackles faker Johnson instead?

Steggman is no different to say: Warren Brosnihan & Wayne Fyvie.

Hard worker but ultimately will not get selected above more talented,bigger,stronger more efficient,less penalty-ridden incumbents.

Same with Dewalt Potgieter who is like a poor man version of Schalk Burger adn at times a diluted Rassie Erasmus.

And if people are going to quote how many supertitles they won etc please note: Reuben Thorne, Sam Broomhall, Mose Tuia’li’i, Justin Collins, Dylan Mika, Andrew Blowers, Todd Blackadder(as a blindside) etc won multiple championship in Superrugby but that didnt make them great test loosies.

@rangerman(rangerman)-118: Well, as I said to "last movement", sorry boet. But some people find it interesting. My life's work is boring, to me this topic isn't so far. And as long as I feel in the mood to respond to the uninformed opinions of most of the bloggers here. @sparticus(sparticus)-122: I think the one "behavioral issue" here is that it took you more than two hours to get back to me on that and you still don't realize what I did there....
