[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 1009789, member: 39190"] Both those guys are very exciting but IMO its waaaayyy to early to start speaking about Bok inclusions on either front. I mean E Louw is not replacing our best player (Vermeulen), WR PotY (Du Toit) or captain (Kolisi) anytime soon. He is also more of a blindside or n8 whereas if anything we are short of an out-and-out openside flanker. There are also a lot of competition beyond those 3 I've mentioned all with more experience.. I certainly wouldn't say DDA has that n12 jersey nailed down but there is also a lot of competition in the centers. Beyond DDA there is Esterhuizen, RJvR, Serfontein, Steyn all with Bok experience and maybe a little more polish. As for exciting up and commers, there is also Pretorius and Simelane though IMO Louw has been better than Pretorius and probs Simelane won't be considered at 12 and rather specifically n13 with the ability to act as wing cover but Am is looming large at 13 and I think we'll probably prioritize someone who can cover fullback on at n23. I see our numbers 10, 22, 15 and 23 as Pollard, Jantjies/Willemse/Bosch (in that order), Gelant/Fassi and Fassi/Gelant/Steyn. I feel the SA public are always too eager to promote the 'next best thing' and too keen to put the encumbants aside. Let those guys pay their dues over the next two seasons. Its not as if we are short on quality at test level. [/QUOTE]
