Mapoe’s 2009 CC season was superb was best winger tournament.Should have been a Bok.Played well in SR before getting injured vs Bulls in 2010

From then on he has been a sicknote,injured several times.Had contract dispute with Cheetahs,Sharks etc Then has gone to worst SR team after Lions backtracked on Gumede deal.

There are extenuating circumstances

Rhule with a bit of luck will be a superb Springbok

@Markel77-44:
Dry your eyes with that colour assertion.

You guys are not f*ckin serious, the back 3 works in unison Rhule is part of it and even experienced campaigner like Daniller looked average with his positionning

But thats all people seem to harp on instead of the FACT that Rhule is probably rhe finest wing prospect to come of this country in a very long time. The running,speed,stepping,balance and finishing ability is nothing short of sublime.In back 3 skillset especially on attack he is freakish.

If you want Pat Lambie’s & Gerhart van den Heever’s & Bjorn Basson’s you can keep them thank you very much.Bok and SA rugby will go nowhere with that type of skillset being paraded around as pre-requisite for national selection.Thats why wings like Deon van Rensburg are stalwarts in SA teams,painfully AVERAGE.Catching high balls and taking up ball into contact.

No shimmy,no fend,no step,no pace,no swerve…nah all that for backlin players is secondary postional play and catching high balls

SMH

Butch had a blinder. He’s still our best flyhalf when he’s in the mood and his form seems to be very good now. He controlled the game brilliantly on defence and attack.

Next?

the game is faster and the refs are human therefore it is sensible to make use of the technolgies available to us, the viewers, to help them get the right outcomes.

the tmo also gets a ‘wage’ so lets put him to proper work. no complaints from me.
