[QUOTE="Boggle, post: 408832, member: 13621"] Whilst I understand why Schalk Brits has not been considered, it's rather sad as I believe he is a much better hooker than most of the men who have been picked for this Bok 37. he's definitely miles ahead of Chillyboy and Maku, and I'd rate him as an all round better played than Strauss and definitely better than John Smit at the moment. So that's only Bismark that I really would rate as the player he wouldn't be able to replace in that line up. Still, as awesome a player as he is we always have Deon fourie who has a very similar play style, and Tiaan Liebenberg is another brilliant player who always gets overlooked. So at the end of the day while I don't think PDV has the best 5 hookers in that squad we definitely have the home talent to fill it up with the best 5. (Smit will obviously be going no matter what anyway). Bjorn really should have been picked, excellent under the high ball and one of the best finishers I think this country is going to see for a long time, the man scored 22 tries in a single currie cup season last year for petes sake ! I would also drop Wynand Olivier, for goodnes sake the man has been pretty average for a while now, and has probably never been in our top echelon of centers anyway. [/QUOTE]
