He wasn't 1/2 bad from the little bits that I saw.

Sorry Chilli, I took a lot of vlek for a long time supporting Willemse.

Last night we saw his best game, specially that off load for Gelants try.

It's a case of form is temporary, class permantly.

I am sure Kade Wolhuter will push him. The nice thing about both of them is that they are still laaities and can slot in at 10,12 and 15. This put also pressure on Gelant who are in excellent form.

Nel did well last night but surely isn't a wing. Hope we can get Senatla/Petersen back from injury.

Our 6,7,8 also surprise me. Ernst van Rhyn have improved a lot. Trokkie suddenly play to his talent and the Grey laaitie is Yster at the breakdowns.

Out tight 5 is a class one.

This weekend will be a massive game against the S15 Champs.

That Specman try was incredible. There was absolutely nothing on that finish was simply ridiculous. Frans was pretty awful for the Cheetahs, seemed to drop everything.

I think after this weekend it's a straight shootout between the Bulls and Stormers for the title.

Who was that awkward blonde presenter with Schalk Burger? That was utterly painful to watch.

Surely there are other people in SA with some character who can at least make it more interesting to watch, and who are knowledgeable and not afraid to criticise?

It’s all the former players crowding the commentary booths that are the problem. Brosnihan, Skinstadt, Stransky, Jean de Villiers and in the Afrikaans audio channels Kobus Wiese and Breyton Paulse.

SuperSport really should be investing in a commentator training program to identify talent, rather than just shoving former player “pundits” into the commentator role.

If they were smart, they would crowdsource some talent and open another R-rated audio channel to get a guest commentator from the public. Eventually you will strike pay dirt and find somebody with the gift of the gab that also provides decent commentary.

At some point there was a whole cottage industry of “alternate commentary” channels on YouTube and PodCast platforms but they are were very difficult to produce technically because the audio and video would be badly out of sync. You kind of need the broadcasters to embrace it.

I watch a lot of English rugby and really admire how polished their presenters are.
