[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 585526, member: 38640"] Didn't realize he would only be 33 in 2015... I still think SA should only select players who play in SR - but I guess South Africa has had quite a bit of trouble with creative players since he's been gone. My only thought is that FdP was the best when kicking was a lot more important and the Bulls and SA had Matfield to win their lineouts. They've got a good lineout atm, but it isn't what it was 2009-2010, so his tactical kicking game isn't going to have the same impact and I wouldn't rate his running game as good as some of SA's other options, even when he was in his prime.
