[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 390077, member: 24910"] Yeah Sarel Pretorius has really impressed me all year (and the latter half of last years super 14 as well) - would be a great player for the Boks to have off the bench, as he has a very contrasting style to du Preez. Pretorius did slip off a few tackles against the Highlanders, though I haven't noticed him missing that many tackles normally, so it may have just been an aberration. Will be very interesting to see which three scrum-halves the Boks take to the RWC. du Preez is a certainty, but you'd imagine Hougaard, Pienaar, Pretorius, and Januarie (as he is loved by the coach) will all be in contention (and possibly Vermaak ,and Duvenhage who both also impress me)... certainly plenty of quality scrum-halves in South Africa, hopefully (as a NZ supporter) de Villers ignores them and continues to pick Januarie ;) [/QUOTE]
