[QUOTE="Jer1cho, post: 1054046, member: 32618"] I don't know man. Marx had one bad game for us. Which was the NZ opener in the RWC. He didn't start for the next 2 years. Even then, look at what he did off the bench in the WC. He was the one at the back of the 50m maul against Japan, breaking off and offloading for Faf to score. He was the one who had quick hands for try no.1 in the final. He was the one who tackled Slade so hard he spilled the ball for Kolbe to score. The guy was also the only glimmer of hope we had in the 2016 2017 horror show, with arguably the most complete no.2 performance ever against NZ in Cape Town. Both our hookers (all hookers for that matter) throw a rubbish one now and then, but it is a myth that Bongi does anything better than Marx does, let alone lineout throws as was showcased on Saturday (and in the Lions series). Bongi is fine, and a pretty solid backup, but he offers nothing special, whereas Marx is a game changer when he is on form, which is far more often than not. His turnovers are too good a weapon to leave out till 60 minuites of a match as well. [/QUOTE]
