Sowerby has been playing consistently well for some time now, though I’m not so sure about the continued use of gloves on the park?

@BULLET-2: He's a helluva lot better than Spies... but then again that doesn't say he should be a Springbok.

@seabiscuit-7: barrit can't even crack a spot in the England team, he is behind Flutey, Hape, Tuilagi, Tindall & even Toby Flood. he's only managed to play for the Saxons, which doesn't say much really.

@Tacitus-1: De Jongh started off studying engineering at Stellenbosch in '95. I think he was in Simonsberg. Thought I'd mention it since you were also a Matie (right?) and may have run into him at some stage.

@Tacitus-1: I asked Simon the same question when I started working at HSM, no relation. Weird ey? @BULLET-4: I've been doing this in recent months, and will focus on all SA-born players in Europe who impress. If you see that I've missed a Saffa who played well, let me know. Cheers

Also, why do we report on Matt Stevens like he is one of ours. He left SA and never played for any of the super rugby or provincial mens teams. Nobody ever referred to Mike Catt on these blogs

Rob Linde. Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a while. Is he still all eyes, elbows and knees, or has he discovered French cuisine?

I cannot wait for the genuises to start telling the world that Sowerby should have been a full time Bok blah blah blah.

Off topic: Anyone know if Simon is related to the De Jongh Borchardt guy who co-wrote Vic’s book?

It’s not exactly a common surname, and both seem to be in the sports media business, so I was just curious.
