BJ Botha is not '100000000' times better than Jannie, no player is, its quite frankly impossible, and this applies to any comparison between players. And BJ had very suspect scrumming in the game against France, and the scrum steadied once Jannie came on. Once again BJ has not even played a full season with the club he is at (don't know if it is injuries or form)
I have never said Smit is SA's best hooker, infact, since 2008, most experts have said that Bismarck is better than Smit, however every Springbok says it is essential to have Smit in the team, due to the leadership qualities he has, and the calmness he brings.
You have highlighted one major mistake he has made, if any other player had made that mistake (other than other senior players), there would have been an outcry, however he makes mistakes so rarely that the mistake was actually joked about.
There is obviously the selection poser of him at prop, which meant that he had to bulk up in order to better play that position.
Fact is, teams play better with him around, Sharks, Clermont and Springboks included, mainly due to his leadership. But you don't care about that due you? Youy would rather see the best players as opposed to the best XV
p.s. I never said that you said you are better, I merely assumed that you thought that you are better than *****
