[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 650399, member: 40658"] JJ is in the squad, but doesn't really warrant to be there, and this coming from a Bulls fan. He has had a rather poor season for the Bulls, and while some might say that Jan also had a poor season, I would disagree. Jan has been very solid and has done what he was suppose to do. With JJ playing so poorly, Jan had to make even more groundwork, at the centres. I personally think moving JP to centre will be an even better move than JJ's change from wing to centre. JP has the same attributes as what Tana Umaga had when he made the shift and look at how well that worked out. With that said, JJ is for me just as good at centre than he is at wing, and he has to just keep on improving and establish himself. As for the team, can't see much fault in the team, given the injuries and disruptions. Pretty much the same to be expected as last week, with a little bit more sharpness. Glad to see Gurthro getting a start ahead of Beast. Hopefully our scrums will be better. Congrats to Lood De Jager who will be making his debut if he comes on. How long has it been since the last time we had a lock from the Cheetahs representing SA (Juan Smith doesn't count). [/QUOTE]
