[QUOTE="SomeOke, post: 957976, member: 59145"] I know we differ on this Hein so I'll try not to harp on it this WC but it's not just about fitness. I basically just don't rate him at all, he's a decent basher when a bit meaty but he's lost a lot of pace so isn't as dangerous an attacking player as he used to be, therefore he's ONLY really in the squad for his big boot. I just think using your 22 jersey for a big boot, when you already have Handre Pollard in your side is pointless. Considering we could add some young flair like Willemse or Bosch, or at the very least an alternative game-style like Jantjies offers, it just doesn't make any sense to me. The only answer basically comes down to the fact that he's a world cup winner and has a ton of experience, but I just have a hard time seeing him as someone who inspires other players considering he's shown signs of being a prima donna at worst and at the very least a quiet personality at best. Anyway I'll shut up about Frans Steyn from now on. [/QUOTE]
