[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 661749, member: 39190"] Now, now, don't be upset because a young Sharks player has been dropped. You don't see me *****ing about Siya Kolisi being replaced by Coetzee who is the better player ATM do you? Etzebeth is back and as per below HM has stated that he wanted to bring in someone who could cover the backrow as well which makes sense especially because the player won't feature in a starting role so the versatility is a bonus on top of Smith being an experienced player with established leadership qualities so is the ideal replacement for Matfield. And you should know Smith has played at lock for both SA and the Cheetahs numerous times.
