[QUOTE="dan-the-man, post: 398911, member: 50929"] I get what you're saying about Pretorious sometimes being a liablility, but I think this is the attitude that is keeping South African rugby back. South Africans as a whole seem to favour docile players that make less mistakes but don't set the world alight. I think this is a poor state of mind, as we need to invest in players that are capable of being absolute game-breakers. I GUARANTEE YOU that if Quade Cooper was South African he'd probably be playing Vodcacom Cup, because our coaches would probably label him "Too erratic and not solid enough at goal-kicking" etc. I mean, the fact is, can you really tell me that Pienaar would've done for the Cheetahs what Sarel has? And seriously, when Pienaar starts playing Super Rugby again, let's at the end of the season look who has more missed tackles and handling errors. Also, I actually think Hougaard should be first-choice wing for the Boks. But for future 1st-choice scrumhalf, I'd rather have Pretorious or Vermaak (If Vermaak can regather last year's form). And no sorry I'm gonna have to completely disagree with you on Duvenhage. He is docile AND error-prone. Generally the error-prone guys are the ones that also make impact, he's just average yet he also makes tons of errors. Shocker, Stormers should've held on to that talented Conrad Hoffman. I rate that oke thick! [/QUOTE]
