Come on forum, you can do it!
I excluded Kockott, he's never even been able to crack an international squad. For a similar reason I almost excluded Pienaar, who has been consistently disappointing for the Springboksl, but at least he's made it into the squad in the first place
For me it's a toss up between Smith and Genia. Both are coming into form at the moment, and it really depends on what you want out of your halfback. Given the strength of the backline, and Carter at 10, I think you really need a fantastic distributor, which would go in Smith's favour probably. However, as there are no other kickers in the backline, bar Carter, I think it's probably important to have a halfback who excels in that area, and for that reason I've opted for Genia. I think Care is a poor man's Genia, though Parra is certainly an option too.
but as i said to be fair on him his season so far has been better than ever but i would have thought Genia or Smith would be no.1 scrum-half na well thats me proved wrongVery interesting, Danny Care would probably only be my fourth or fifth choice...

yeah maybe your right i think Aaron Smith should get itRound 2 will probably have the top two halfbacks battle it out, I think we may see the votes swing when that happens.
Did you see the top 14 final ? He was brilliant and I think he really could make an impact on the international stage. I must be honest I think Care has been bigged up by the media for his good 6 nations performances. I really like Care but how he has(when I write this) as many votes as Genia and Du Preez combined, as he isn't half the player du Preez is.I really don't get the Kockott hype.
He's a good 9, but best in the world? Not even close.
He's a petulant little c**t as well - and not in the way that all 9s should be

Is he better than any of the 7 named above?
No.
Is he better than Ruan Pienaar? Nah.
So he's at very most the 9th best, which ain't that close to being number 1, is it?
