One cannot blame Mujati – there’s undue risk associated with “getting one’s papers in order” for RSA citizenship

@willievz-34: Because good tight heads are some of the most sought after and highest paid players in rugby. That's why most of ours are signed by European clubs at a young age.

Petrus du Plessis of Saracens should get a look-in.

For some reason, since our readmission, we’ve struggled to produce world-class tightheads.

In contrast, we’ve been blessed with a conveyor belt produce of world-class looseheads.

Why?

@blik-23: Coenie has played how many games at TH?? and you rate him? Try again. At LH maybe, but he's not proven himself anywhere near worthy of a TH spot.

@CharlesM-20: WP Nel who started alongside coenie is not Test match material BUT coenie has been played at tighthead in Tests?!

what kind of logic is that?

SA lack tightheads. Not sure why Os always converts the prop factories produce into looseheads. Coenie was a TH, and converted to LH when he left school, same with Marcel vd Merwe, who lets hope he can make the step up in due course.

IMO, this is the current stock in order of value.

LH.
1) Guthro Streenkamp**
2) Beast
3) Heinke**
4) Kitshoff

TH.
1) Jannie Dup
2) Coenie*
3) CJ
4) Pat Cillers
5) Marcel vd Merwe
6) Melherbe

* currently injured
** overseas based

Dont know whats gone wrong with CJ….been poor for a long while now….damn good back in the day.

@CharlesM-19: Seems Guthro may be injured, hence the call to Heineke….leaves us very vulnerable on the tighthead side….maybe best they went to F Malherbe……he had a pretty decent final and has been around the squad….

Pity about Mujati ……we really do need a destructive and effective 3 to stand in for Jannie…..

It is an ongoing problem……

@Transformation-18: It seems that Botha isn't rated anymore. IMO WP Nel is not really test material
