[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 138209"] And how precisely did you get to this stunning conclusion? For your info mate, Chilli captained the u19 Boks to victory in the u19 RWC when he was only 17. From hooker, no less. Incidentally, it was his 2nd u19RWC, having 1st been an age-group Bok at 16. And he went on to win an u21 RWC the following year- while still in school! Just to add to that- from hooker, no less. Right, now we come to the u21 stuff. Played for the u21 Boks in 3 RWC`s, winning 2 and losing in the final of the other one. Pretty good rugby pedigree there methinks. Right, now onto his leadership skills. Not only did he captain several age-group Bok teams, but he was elected, by the pupils themselves, head boy at Pretoria Boy`s High, John Smit`s alma mater, no less, when in standard 9 already. Nobody`s ever done that before. And that in a very much predominantly white school. I`ll tell you this much- if any provincial coach gives this lad an extended run even in the Currie Cup, you`ll see just how good he really is. IMO, except for Smit and Bismarck, currently the 3rd best hooker in the country, definately ahead of Botha who looked very ordinary in his Bok games this year. [/QUOTE]
