Damian Willemse  again showed why the Stormers were prepared to let go of Robert du Preez and keep him to play at flyhalf.   He has it all - as good he is in attack - so good is his defense compared to other candidates.   Last week Jantjies missed 5 of his 10 attempted  tackles in a game against the same team - in the game today Willemse stats were 8 tackles made and 3 missed.   Today Pollard made 4 tackles from 8 attempts.  


I still think there is a lot that this 19 year-old can learn in the game - but I think he is bound to be the Springbok no 10 very early in his career.  


My friend Mozart is going to have a seizure - most of his pet hates are candidates for my SA team of the week,

I'll be surprised if Rassie doesn't include him in his first squad ou maaaike.

Hopefully, he will stay injury free and be ready for the world cup. Jantjies would still make a good bench player. Pollard will also cover inside centre.

I always had reservations about Jantjies and the latest two matches he played in proved beyond doubt that under pressure he is a joke in bad taste.  His defense is a serious problem,

I would rather have Pollard in the set-up and even Du Preez is better than .Jantjies as a supporting player.
