[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 678247, member: 39190"] There is even an argument to be made that we might have been worse off; Lets say Grant is not in Japan and Morne Steyn not in France. In that case Handre Pollard might have had to wait around a few more years before getting a call up. This is just one instance but many of our younger Bokke would've found making the test side more difficult without either those above them moving off or us having more than the 5 teams. Just to add some other players for I'mScotty; Daniel Coetzee Antonie Claassen (both for France) Justin Melck (Germany) Hendre Fourie (England) though he isn't playing any more but you have a few 'oldies' there so I thought I'd mention these Dan Vickerman Clyde Rathbone (both Aussie) [/QUOTE]
