[QUOTE="TRF_Ezequiel, post: 372316, member: 42683"] 1. [B]Willem Alberts[/B] YES 2. [B]Jean Deysel[/B] If he can play for a whole year without injuries, he is definitely a potential Springbok 3. [B]Wiehahn Herbst[/B] Still very young, anything can happen in his career and he has massive competition from other props his age 4. [B]Steven Sykes[/B] Flip van der Merwe, De Kock Steenkamp and Danie Rossouw are better options next to Andries Bekker. Also, Sykes is already 26. 5. [B]Alistair Hagreaves[/B] Good prospect for the future and he replaced Johann Müller quite good after his move to Ulster. Turning 25 in 2 months and has been called up several times last year with the Bok-squad. 6. [B]Lwazi Mvovo[/B] Mvovo was one of the revelations of 2010 and had a good tour in november scoring a try against England after having an amazing Currie Cup season 7. [B]Pat Lambie[/B] Maybe people should be a bit more careful predicting an obvious bright future for Lambie. He is good, only 20 but there's still a long way to go. At fly-half he has decent competition in Elton Jantjies so he might be shifted around the back-line which can result in becoming the next Ruan Pienaar in stead of the World Class fly-half people make him out to be 8. [B]Craig Burden[/B] He had a nice season in the Currie Cup scoring tries even. For a hooker he is very fast and has a lot of running in him. He is however, awful with line-outs which resulted in several turn-overs even against the smaller teams. As a hooker he won't be in the Bok squad soon having to compete with so many others but who knows what happens. 9. [B]Louis Ludik[/B] Same story as Deysel. Definite Springbok, if he manages to stay injury-free. In the Bok-squad we have to watch Zane Kirchner ping-pong the ball straight back every time while Ludik is more the running type like Ben Foden or Muliaina. When you say "No more Bulls" you probably mean no more Matfield and du Preez after the World Cup. That is true but they still have some amazing talent in that squad with Steenkamp, Rossouw, van der Merwe and Spies as definite Boks. Also I never understood why Ralepelle is in the Bok squad when he is only second choice at the Bulls after Gary Botha. Why not call up Gary Botha in stead then? O well. On top of that they have some amazing talent with van den Heever, Hougaard and some recent called-up players like Wynand Olivier and Dewald Potgieter. Some other Sharks I think will still have big careers are Keegan Daniel and Ryan Kankowski which I think you forgot to mention ;) [/QUOTE]
