[QUOTE="Durbanite, post: 869690, member: 73156"] Curwin has an eye for a gap, can step, can kick points and makes Lambiesque decisions when distributing. While Willemse is a great talent, I think Bosch has more to offer the boks as 10/15 backup as things stand and would argue he is the better distributer as well. Would take some convincing to see it otherwise, although an argument could be made that he lacks too much experience for the bokke. As for Rhule being a quota choice, I'd rather have Sbu Nkosi, Lwazi Mvovo or even Mapimpi any day of the week. I don't understand ACs motivations, if he wants a fast guy on the wing why not Senatla? Quota selections are a part of SA and we're dealing with it, but Rhule's selection is a bit of an enigma. I'm glad SP isn't in the squad, his stint with the sharks leaves a sour note still, but it was the sharks' game plan that didn't suit and the Stormers are honing him nicely but Coetzee is the obvious choice for me. Good to see Coenie being tested as a starter, think he has more to offer than just an impact player. With a sold out NMB and this team I think bok fans are right to assume victory, but I'm still hesitant to call it either way as we have very little idea what Pumas will show up and how we will absorb pressure.
