[/b][/quote] Well I can't really see him signing for another club in SA... *Bulls->Already have a star no.12 in Wynand Olivier *Lions->Would like to have him but they already spent enough on getting Spencer and la Grange isn't that bad... *Sharks->Would probably like to see him play alongside Jacobs so maybe... *Cheetahs->Highly unlikely! *Stormers->He began his career with them, captained the side, gets to play with class players such as Burger, Habana and Fourie. So at most the Sharks might throw him a deal, but I'm 99,99999999999999999% sure that when he returns to SA he will go straight back to the Cape ;) [/b][/quote] Not sure WP fork out to have him with Fourie, de Jongh, Des Fountain, Grant & Newman all quality centers; the first 2 better than JdV IMO.
