Markus Muller over Ethan Adams or in fact anyone is not based on on-field performance, that’s for damn sure Invite you to watch the Currie Cup game they played opposite one another and guess who’s the Springbok Giliomee is exciting and all but Siyaya is not only a better fullback but also a better flyhalf, better in the air, a better defender, and has a body more sturdy and ready for Test rugby By all appearances Fassi has for two seasons now been desperately trying to play himself out of the Springboks and at that he has failed miserably, too Eskom “The Move Stops Here” van Staden not only doesn’t currently make the Bulls’ first choice loose trio but wouldn’t do so for any of the other three franchises either Romao is not only already better at running into things and tackling things that moves, but he can pass too. But okay, can’t have too many 20 odd yr olds in one squad, esp forwards Franco is, not to put too fine a point on it, not the future One hooker is a bold choice JHW is not a Bok quality prop and he is not a Bok quality hooker What is Johan Grobbelaar and Marnus vd Merwe, chopped liver? Zachary Porthen is a brilliant bruising loosie but he is not a destructive or even dominant TH. Unlike, say, taking a name at random, Carlu Sadie, who is in France already and playing the house down as always (but at least France will never be able to pick him because he has that one capturing cap) Not a particular fan of Seb de Klerk and his newfound blindness to opportunities to others — but on that I’m in a minority of one and likely wrong Can NOT believe the greatest coach who ever lived or ever will live finalized this squad without running it by moi first
