[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 734240, member: 39190"] Well for a surity Mohoje is there as a quota player. Don't get me wrong I don't think he is a poor player but its nothing but ridiculous the way he has been fast-tracked into the Bok squad. Politics! Have your read about schools rugby having to conform to SACOC's requirements? So they see it as progress taking a sucessful 20 schools teams tournament and making it a 9 team tournament for no better reason than it's tidier from the POV of how they see the country politically- not a single rugby reason. That's how I remember it as well. It's not just his off loading game having Argentina scrambling but his defense was actually putting the attacking team under pressure. [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Well I think he was a stand out player. Nonu has been in sublime form this year and I'd also still keep him and Smith together. It points more towards NZ's embarrasent of riches in the backline than anything else IMO. I wouldn't pick SBW over Conrad Smith either. I just thought he had a good game and was wondering what I'mScotty saw that says otherwise. Hansen will have a hard time picking a wrong backline as long a he doesn't start playing players out of position. [/QUOTE]
