Dare I say it? Dare I say it?
Earl Rose...
He never had potential IMO... like Luke Watson
Yeah, only PDivvy thought there might be potential for anything other than disaster. Then again even he probably thought that the Bokke could win DESPITE Rose and just put him in to satisfy the nagging mother of his love-child.
Not a popular opinion I know, but Rose was easily in my opinion one of the best players in the 2008 Currie Cup, the reason why he was taken on tour.
However he Sharks f**ked him over really bad in one of the last rounds or so, and was half the player going into the play-off stages that he was before the game.
Just fell apart after that, having no decent coach around meant there was no recovery possible.
Louis Ludik was on course for higher honours, but injuries and... restricted gameplans have adversely affected his career, still time, but I doubt he will get anything more than the odd Bok cap at most.
Jean de Villiers? Probably reached his potential but couldn't sustain it for very long. His sabbatical up north somehow robbed him of the knowledge that he can pass.
Hmmm, Keegan Daniel? Lot of SupeRugby experience but isn't showing any of it so far. Cock.
As for Scottish players? Never given the opportunity to show their potential so the point is moot.
Russell is scoring tries for fun in Clermont. Intercepted one against Toulouse last week.
Bloody little pocket rocket. Just a few weeks back he nearly scored coming in off James' shoulder at incredible pace. I'd rather him on the wing than Odwa right now.
Must have read our posts, he scored again today.Great to hear he is doing well over there. It's hard for me to keep up with NH rugby as I don't have the rugby channel, but maybe I should just pay the extra $8 a month. I have never been of fan of Odwa's to be perfectly honest. He's not bad, but would love to maybe give one of the younger guys a go eg. Jordaan or Sithole.

Four tries in what, six matches? After missing half the season through injury, that's not bad.He's scored 4 tries this season, but hasn't really played much, he's very much a reserve for Clermont and is only playing because Malzieu is with France and Sivivatu and Murimurivalu are injured

He was unfortunate that Habana and Paulse were in great form for much of his career. He could have made it at 10 in a different country, but SA wanted Pretorius or van der Westhuyzen hoofing the ball around.
