@APC_Rugby Never looked good at the sharks, has looked much better at the bulls so far

[Ben mercury @bgers22]

@Johnzq0 @rugbysaurus he certainly can

[Ben mercury @bgers22]

@DummySwitchPod Porthen is 22…. Props hardly emerge under 25. He held his own against established internationals despite being surrounded by less established scrummagers in Jan hendrik and grobbelar. I think this is a bit unfair.

[Ben mercury @bgers22]

@SchmidtHappened @Spring_n_Boks porthen is 22, how many props are strong scrummagers at such a young age. He will stay tighthead and will be the best tighthead in the world by the net world cup cycle.

[Ben mercury @bgers22]

@Slipcatch Would like to see him over grobbelar for the boks. Different player to marx, you’d think Rassie would like him off the bench.

[Ben mercury @bgers22]

@SiyNdk @scrumming_ten Pead had Nico steyn and van den berg. At the stormers he'll be first choice for most of the season.

[Ben mercury @bgers22]

@Slipcatch Better than grobbelar

[Ben mercury @bgers22]

@Slipcatch @SardieqWP Deon at 16, easy decision

[Ben mercury @bgers22]

@CMurray1988 @troyw2_ @BrendonWessels fair enough apparently a swap for Sazi was on the cards and the stormers said no…. So honestly it seems fair to me.

[Ben mercury @bgers22]

@MereMortalM @StephenMeltz @CaptSpringbok Julius is the youngster, he is only 22

[Ben mercury @bgers22]

@masculine_buety @Brendennel Woke is apparently when you compliment the performance of a woman. Such a ridiculous statement. She had a brilliant performance tonight.

[Ben mercury @bgers22]

@heinrich_otto17 @jaredwright17 it’s obviously sacha

[Ben mercury @bgers22]

@DarthboerSA @CaptSpringbok idk with the form of wandisile i’d put willemse 12

[Ben mercury @bgers22]

@Mangashu @CaptSpringbok De Klerk over senatla is just nonsense 😂

[Ben mercury @bgers22]

@flo_thethrill I’m convinced he’s the boks next number 6

[Ben mercury @bgers22]

Handre Pollard is not a starter. He’s a bench player, morné steyn type. It’s either Sacha or Manie, i lean to Manie. And Handre as insurance on the bench. He just doesn’t have the distribution skills needed to start a game. Willie is not rounded enough anymore to complement:

[Ben mercury @bgers22]

@DarthboerSA @CaptSpringbok Yup my confidence would’ve been much improved with Roos at 8. Rassie has lost the plot

[Ben mercury @bgers22]

@Oom_Rugby we are missing Vincent Tshituka…. would be great off the bench

[Ben mercury @bgers22]

@BurtEtsebeth @FrontRowRugbyXV Pollard was the missing spark, his tactical kicking was poor no matter how good his goal kicking was.

[Ben mercury @bgers22]

@Klipkop007 @ChristiaanJor33 @AnalystGus Fans Man of the match against Cardiff in the last game of the urc regular season. Got a red card unfortunately though, so he obviously just isn’t match fit
