[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 743321, member: 39190"] I suppose I put that somewhat clumsily didn't I. yes, both certainly lack experience on the test stage. I suppose its just that Naholo somehow *feels* just that little more... solid?.. a pick to my mind. Yeah, not to derail the thread (there is another for this topic) but if he did concede his place he'd actually be putting himself in harm's way. I mean, the type of precedent he'd be setting. Most heads of government and parastatals, a good number of directors on the board of some big companies all the way up to our dear president should probably not be there on merit by my definition of merit. In any case, Paige's inclusion might even just be an oddity from Meyer. I mean, there are tons of examples of weird decisions from selectors in most sports in all countries. The fact that Meyer has to deal with any sort of racial quota at all is unfair to those non-white players just as much as any white player possibly omitted as it casts a shadow of doubt over their inclusion. I know that's something I wouldn't like. No question Meyer has assured Paige he is the man he wants. I don't question Paige's integrity at all really. But, yeah. I don't want this thread to go off topic. And @[URL="http://www.therugbyforum.com/member.php?u=40658"]TRF_heineken[/URL], Meyer has surely got to be the guy mostly likely to have a heart attack during the tournament. I hope the medical takes precausions. [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Also seems like we may have a new player in the record books for youngest player to feature at a RWC: [url]http://www.sport24.co.za/Rugby/WorldCup/Teen-set-to-make-RWC-history-20150902[/url] Well done on the selection, lad!
