[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 1058103, member: 39190"] Probably a Provincial bias thing but I haven't ever seen either of the Venters or Richardson as playing for the test side. That said I didn't see Kwagga Smith as playing for us either so that shows how much I know. Vermeulen won't be around for much longer. Probably if he makes the 2023 RWC that's it. Wiese is already in the mix with Roos and Louw the best up and commers IMO. In the flanks there are Kolisi, PSdT, Smith, the Du Preez twins and so many more to name... maybe I just havn't watched enough Sharks games. I see Richardson's dad is a Scot so I have no qualms. Grandparents and even great grandparents I am fine with as well. From there it gets a bit hazy IMO. I think there are just so many pap-and-wors South Africans in and around that Scottish test side ATM we make assumptions. I would say though what with all the guys leaving our shores perhaps it might be prudent not to develop guys with foreign grandparents if there are so many otehr guys not getting a shot in SA u20 and senior CC/URC teams.
