[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 1110690, member: 39190"] It was already better for me. But only slightly mind you. I just think he has such a ceiling. But he hasn't had a chance yet to carry from the positions he carries for the Stormers. So to some extent our game plan isn't making use of what we have in him. We've seen Kolisi and PSDT start when able to stand on two legs and Mostert is seen as PSDT's deputy so no hope to have an actual open side while Kolisi can pick up a ball. That puts pressure on the rest of the pack to contribute at the breakdown. It hasn't been an issue with both Vermeulen and Marx there but at this stage I'd not take Vermeulen to the RWC unless he shows a marked increase in fitness. I'd have Wiese as 1st choice though Wiese also didn't particularly impress in his first two matches and now I'd have him start ahead of Vermeulen so I think there is hope yet for Roos. I wouldn't have any of them on the bench though. You want more rounded players on the bench. That is where I think Kwagga shines with Fourie next in line in my book. I'd take Roos ahead of Louw as next in line for Wiese. But that is largely based on how much of a ridiculous 2021 Roos had so I guess my stance would be to give him more opportunity but I don't see him as starting a RWC unless we have injury. I think Roos and a player like Henco van Wyk will only really start to feature (and only as back up) post 2023. [/QUOTE]
