Ek sien dat die 0/21 span met 15 log punte 4de in hul afdeling lê.
Ek was dan onder die indruk dat ons junior spanne kern gesond is.
Lyk vir my of iets nie lekker pluis is by die jong spanne nie.
Ja die ding wat nie pluis is nie is dieselfde as by die senior span - afrigting!
Nollis Marais kan nie afrig nie. Ek sien al elke seisoen dat daar geen game plan van enige aard by die o21's te sien is nie. Hy maak staat daarop dat die spelers op individuele wyse 'n breek of iets maak wat tot punte lei. Hy is ook seker die enigste afrigter wat met n ten volle professionele span nie hond haaraf kan maak teen 'n klomp amateurs/studente (dis nou "Tukkies" in die Varsity Beker wat eintelik maar die bulle se o21 span is).
Dis hoekom ons spelers nie deurkom wat ons kontrakteer nie - hulle kom hier met die talent en vaardighede wat hulle het op skool, en dan so bly dit, word niks verder ontwikkel nie. Tog as jy kyk by die WP en Sharks, kan hulle n o19 outjie kies op Super Rugby vlak en hy kom deur.
Regtig i maklike span keuse as ek so lees eerlik niks moeilik!! Jessie
