The abantumnyama you just mentioned are all good players but in some instances there are two or 3 top white players that copuld replace them. This is speaking honestly. As a result, I think some players may have peaked in terms of where their careers could go. branco Du Preez should be a Sevens Specialist and remainon the Sevens circuit. he is too small. Sithole I think will go all the way, as will janjties as we have seen and also Kolisi, Carr, Okafor and Mbovane.. i think some have hit brick walls.

Oh my bad its Rebels not Force.ya bt where is he?JP du Plessis had so much promise,saw him play for Paarl Gym & WP/SA schools-has a ridiculous sidestep..pity,he left and all bemoaned his move.heard from his Dad in papers sayin how great move to Oz would be etc…its 18 months on and nothing.Apparently he wasn’t to accomplished in league thus went back to union via Rebels…but haven’t seen him in any games neither.Well now SA has the likes of Moolman,Jordaan,Wall-Smith stepping up and Sadie & Taute(who is also an outstanding 13) excelling.

Just saying…

He is in Oz and we heard talk about playing for Rebels but i have not seen him play a S15 match. he should come back home.

His handling is not that bad but he was playing with that Full back Beyers who is kak in my opinion. beyers threw two bad passes to Tshotsho. We never saw him after that. Taute will show is class and experience against England. Taute has some toe and runs good lines.

Carr-has the whole package & more

Arno Botha-powerhouse athlete

Etzebeth-BIG ATHLETIC fella

Mbovane-has feet unlike any we have seen in SA in a while if ever

Imagine if JP du Plessis was at 13-who took up a Rugby League contract in 09(where is he now??bad move youngster-was on book of rubble force last I saw…too keen to move to Oz)

Lookin fwd to game vs England

I look forward to the likes of Carr. and Kolise and etsebeth in the currie cup. Wouldn’t bet against them getting some game time!

These boys were all craven week earlier this year. Now Tsotsho is has an interesting story as he is from a khaya school in the eastern cape, then Paul Roos snapped him up and gave him a scholarship. I am not sure what franchise he plays for but i think WP are all over him given that he has played province and country at schoolboy.

What i like about Tshotsho is that he is still hard as well as fast and fancy with his feet. We don’t want another Nokwe or Russell devastating in attack but rubbish in defence.

I was really hoping Sithole would make it for the Sharks this year. Think he will play CC first. Really would like to see him and Jordaan for S15 next year.

Pity Jordaan never got another chance to start. Think he is way better than Moolman.

Which franchise does Tshotsho play for? Still catching up with the Baby Boks which Franchise they play for.

Now the pass is forward to Small- Smith but he finishes well. He also looked impressive in teh Sevens. As did Tshotsho.
