@stormersboy(stormersboy)-11: I'm not sure but I think he might be - I read an article a long time ago about him but I can't recall it 100% @renoog(silent_shadow)-7: Dewald Claasen is not a bad player but I don't think he really is in that league. He might just perform well in the Free State's running game. He was a good sevens player with a lot of ball sense - quite big as well.

@renoog(silent_shadow)-10: yeah agreed, if he had Pollards size the two of them together at 10 and 12 could of wrecked havoc.

@CharlesM(CharlesM)-3: Is Jason Worral related to the ex MP Dennis Worral? Do you know?

@Seven(Seven)-8: Yes that's du Plessis. My guess is the back-up flyhalf was never meant to get much/any game time with Pollard as captain, so they used him at academy week. Otherwise it was foolish to have left him out. Really would have loved to see him now. Think he's a more skilful flyhalf than Pollard, although Pollard bigger, better kicker, more reliable.

@CharlesM(CharlesM)-4:

Now that’s just impossible. WP don’t sign “foreign” players…they never have before

The Paarl Boys flyhalf looked very decent this year….du plessis?

Was surprised when he wasn’t originally included in the Province Craven Week squad.
Could of walked into the Boland team where the Paarl schools should be!

@CharlesM(CharlesM)-4: Good to know. Heard about the other 2 coming. WP no 8 is indeed still in gr 11, Rikus Bothma, like him a lot. I see Brenden Nel on Supersport has tried to kick up a fuss about WP losing an unknown Tygerberg schoolboy flyhalf to the Cheetahs. Why is this suddenly worth its own article? D*os Still very interested to see whether J-L du Plessis sticks to rugby.

@renoog(silent_shadow)-2: Yes. Pieter Jordaan of the Free State is moving to WP as well - so does the no 8 of the Bulls. As far I know the no 8 of WP is still U/18 next year.

@ufo(ufo)-1: Yes sir! Very unfortunate, but really “in hindsight…………”. Why did they not substitute him at the break ? I’m not saying the result would have been different but then at least the manager did not have to say: ” we effectively defended with 14 men”
The problem for WP is the fact that Worrall does not have a great boot. I am not sure about Cox’s boot: in the trials he only kicked when necessary. Let’s hope he steps up !!
