[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 733298, member: 39190"] I agree. We have four quality tighthead props; Frans Malherbe, Vincent Koch, Marcel van der Merwe and at a push Julian Redelinghuys. If we look North we can add Brian Mujati and Wiehahn Herbst as well. Jannie du Plessis is not a quality prop anywhere other than possibly at CC level. It has been a long time since anyone could reasonably call him a quality prop. Why then, with the amount of class we have at our disposal in a key position do we continue selecting Jannie? He is just alright in the scrum. He is an absolute liability in open play. His experience counts for nada as he is neither a leader nor cool-headed. In fact, he is an A-hole plain and simple. He not just drops off tackles as if he weighs 55kgs, he gives away stupid penalties because he likes to get involved off the ball and he gets found out at the scrum and then likes to whine about it as if the ref is an idiot. Drop him. [/QUOTE]
