The best defender in the business in SA, a sidestep that will make Danie Gerber proud (has scored some scintillating tries recently that NO other SA centre could have – the one against the Waratahs at Newlands 2 years ago being only one example). A real live wire and busy player. The modern day Mannetjies Roux. That is Juan de Jongh for you!

Hello Bakkies, good to see you’ve calmed down it was touch and go there for a while. No shrine but I’m looking forward to Ritchie’s men breaking the world record that would be very special.The RC was not that challenging this year but I’m sure next year it will be more competitive, have you read Ritchie’s book yet?

@Brigadier Van Zyl-234: I believe that setting up a ruck should be the last option of all the backline players.

Stormers also be in the running SL…..but the draw is a tough 1 and I do feel the Sharks brand of rugby is far superior…..maybe Taute and Jantjes will bring some Mitchell / Spencer ideas to the CT party……I hope so….

Also Stormers lack the fetcher…..and will need to get the crocked fit and well….

Also glad with the Cilliers and Rhodes acquisitions….

Hope springs eternal….

Brig so true that’s why with JDV there nothing much is going to happen in the Bokke back department, is this not ringing alarm bells in SA rugby or are people still clinging to the belief that the Bokke forwards will demolish everything in front of them?

@NZINCHINA-232:

it’s true, we have a few…but they never feature nationally.

even look at that young Rhule kid coming through with the cheetahs. Played 13 against the bulls, got plenty of ball has plenty of pace with a great step and is elusive. Can’t remember him passing once, same for mapoe playing at 13. Has everything except the pass.Almost all of our 13′s really.

Maybe describing the issue as “a pass” is not entirely correct.
possibly a better description of our 13′s would be “the lack of desire to keep the ball alive and off the floor unless it is the very last option”. The setting up of the ruck should be the 13′s ( in my opinion) very last option in his playbook.

@Brigadier Van Zyl-230: He's just feeding the chips on his shoulders. Happens all the time. Someone mentions Taute and he starts blabbering about De Jongh, and vice versa. It's completely involuntary - he can't control it at all.

Brig to be fair not that many of your backs can pass.
