[QUOTE="saulan, post: 1093191, member: 60236"] Good news on Kitshoff, I thought it was going to be this year, but if it's delayed to after the World Cup that gives us some good buffer time, as you say. Potentially bringing someone through the junior ranks or someone back from overseas. Trevor maybe? Nah, I am all for getting Kolbe back, he was our best player for ages and what he brings with him (apart from being one of the best players in the world) is a massive amount of utility. Potential to cover scrumhalf, flyhalf, wings and fullback which is ideal if we do more of the 6-2 split again. Petersen had his moments, but I felt a bit worried when he was playing during the mid-season - I think it was specifically his kick receiving game that had me concerned. At the end of the day though, we just need to get more depth in general so we can take the fatigue of more matches in a season. Looking at the SA U20 side, we do also have a decent crop coming through in the front row and across the backline, but I feel we might to expand the depth further at lock. [/QUOTE]
