SPRINGBOK SQUAD FOR WALES | 11 UNCAPPED PLAYERS

  • Опубликовано: 8 июн 2024
  • The international window is fast approaching and Rassie Erasmus has named his 35 man squad to prepare for the Test Match against Wales. Who are the new faces? Who is unlucky to miss out? And who could emerge as a star in the Test arena?

      You can say that again. The scary thing is the talent at schoolboy level at the moment. The best news is that for the first time in schoolboy rugby history teams with predominantly non white players are starting to make our top ten and twenty schoolboy rugby rankings. This year Jeppe High beat Grey College and the Jeppe team was more than 50% non white. Durban High School is in the top ten and as far as I can see they only have one white palyer in their team. This is unheard of stuff. It is good to see all our communities are starting to produce top talent from schoolboy level. King Edward School has a 8 who is on a different level, Kebotile Maake, remember that name. The Grey scrumhalf McLaren is another name you can remember. I should stop, I am so excited about the talent that we are producing. I just wish we can get proper coaches at the under 18 and 20 Springbok teams. They totally under perform.

At that level any one can win on the day, France, england, New zealand, Ireland, even Argentina and Australia can get a sniff, all have world class players, look at Scotland and even a resurrected Wales. Going to be an interesting WC especially the scrum issues and a new crop of players and talent almost everywhere..

      Sacha is a better flyhalf than Masuku and Manie. Unfortunately Dobson is a muppet. I pray Rassie don't play him at fullback. I see yet another talent being wasted, by not playing the guy in his best position. He is only 22 and giving him time at flyhalf now can provide us with a talented flyhalf for twelve years or even more.
      Our coaches are just to stupid to manage talented players. If Dan Carter played in South Africa he never would have been as good as he was. We would wave played him everywhere accept his best position. The Crusaders had Mertens and Carter. They played Mertens at flyhalf and Carter at 12, then the last 30 minutes they will take Mertens off and let Carter play at flyhalf. The All Blacks did the same. After a couple of seasons Carter took over at flyhalf and we know the history from there on. Why is the Stormers not doing the same? Why is Sacha being treated like a hobo? It is shocking to see how clueless our coaches are. 😢

      Sacha is the biggest talent I have seen for many years. He reminds me of a young Pollard or Goosen. Unfortunately it looks like Dobson has decided he will use him to fill gaps instead of playing him in his best position which is flyhalf. Dobson is going to turn him into a Goosen, a jack of all trades but master of none.

    Not sure about Fassi (I have Quan Horn ahead of him at 15), but I think you might be right about both Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu and Edwill van der Merwe. The latter, in particular, is someone I think has been desperately unlucky to play behind Moodie, Arendse, Kolbe and Mapimpi, because he's been absolutely dynamite for the Lions. And he's much more than just pace - a real allrounder of a wing. Would love to see him get some Bok game time this year.

    Simply fantastic vid! You know your rugby (especially SA rugby). I think Krappie, Fassie and Zulu will stick around for a while. I agree, van Heerden is the best 5 lock in SA (based in SA) at the moment.

      Ag nee man. I don't really know Salmaan. But I came up with some of his older brothers.I had high hopes for him and I hope they come to fruition. They are a rugby family through and through.
      Its great to have that sort of rugby legacy in your veins. As long as it translates to results on the field!
      I will be routing for the long-lad. Let's hoe he can centre himself and start delivering the results!

      I have been a Salmaan fan since I saw him the first time playing for Boishaai in 2015. Unfortunately he had some bad injuries. As much as I like him he just isn't at the same level as our best locks. I hope he can improve because he is a great guy.
      Van Heerden had a monster season and he has made the most tackles of all the players in the URC this season. He made 224 tackles the next best in 200 and he had a 97% tackle rate. He is also second in the URC for lineout steals. Not much more he could have done.

      @@wynandvanzyl8798 Very possible. In the 27 tests leading up to the world cup final, Rassie and Nienaber used 53 players. What I liked about their approach was to not just throw a bunch of uncapped players on the field but they gave them games with experienced players around them. The only exception was the second test against Wales. Rassie also made the call to not always start the game with his "best" players. He said that if you are good enough to make the squad you are good enough to start and that is what he did. I think the confidence that gave players that previously would have sat on the bench game after game must have been massive. Rassie knows how to handle players and put them into positions where they can feel confident and any confident player will perform better. Unfortunately some good players are going to lose out, we just have so much talent at the moment.

    •Ethan Hooker (big, super fast, skilled, calm under pressure, and versatile. Plus SA do have quality depth concerns at Centre, as I see it)

    Hi, as a geriatric, armchair connoisseur, I'd rather give you an idea of the backline I'd like Tony Brown to coach to the '27 WC final.
    At 9, either Niel Papier or Paul de Wet, old trusty Polly at 10, Dan du Plessis and Henco van Wyk at 12/13 with Arendse/Kolbe/Moodie out wide and Willemse at 15.
    Off the wall choices are at 9 and 12. Paper and de Wet are both very fast, sniping scrummies while Dan, like his dad Michael, are true ballplayers that turn their links into superstars.
    Michael was the link, the "nous" between two Bok legends, Naas Botha and Danie Gerber and I'd love to see Dan, with the steady hand of Pollie on his inside, create space for Henco to unlock our speedsters outside..
    Methinks it will become poetry in motion..

    Biggest missing name for me is Suleiman Hartzenberg - guys has been amazing on wing and 13. Definitely one of the best Stormers players in the loss to Glasgow. Biggest nononono is Fassi. He should not be allowed anywhere near a bok jersey with his terrible defense and kicking. Otherwise great breakdown of this squad and agree with you on all the guys missing out.
