Who is quince?
Quinn Roux.
Ok yes he is a solid unit that plays very well for Bath….man there is so many Quality players from SA it’s difficult to keep up.
Stop dissing Luke Watson
Actually PUKE Watson.
Dave is an ever optimist, but I wish he could pick his top 15 without having to name all the other 100 players he needs to try and Squeeze in
" Luke became a Springbok in controversial fashion in 2007 when then coach Jake White was forced to include him in the team after pressure from the sports ministry.
White did not want Luke in his Springbok team but was eventually forced to include him.
Luke’s dad, Cheeky, was held in high esteem in political circles for being an anti-apartheid activist.
Watson at the time said he felt unwelcome in the Bok camp and made the infamous remark that he wanted to puke on his Springbok jersey. "
This is the reason why he is a disgrace!! That being said, Puke Watson was a bog ordinary player, not good enough to make Bok ranks : )
Moz that list is longer than any list of SA players you actually like
Why you support SA rugby is beyond me - it must be bloody painful disliking so many players and hating the coach
Well for starters I don’t rate anybody on that list. Why you thought all those players are world beaters is beyond me, but you couldn’t be persuaded.
Moz that’s my point you rate very few SA players
Chiliboy? You have me confused with someone else
I tell you who was damn good on that list and that was Wynand Olivier - he was a quality 12 who had no chance as a Bok given Jean was ahead of him
I just chuckle when you come up with a list like this - I’ll just throw in a name for you - Adi revolving door Jacobs lol
I knew you would bring up Adi Jacob’s Dave….and
you know my response, no center in the 2008 TN had better stats than Adi. And he scored some excellent tries 7 in 34 tests matching Am’s 6 in 35 tests.
Adi was shit Moz and we all know that. You were about the only person on the planet that rated him
You can’t tell me Adi was good and then tell me Olivier was poor.
I know the reality of Olivier - had he played at a different time he would have been a good test 12
SA have only really had Jean, de Allende and Esterhuizen as standout 12’s, Olivier was next in line after these guys - he was far better than the likes of de Wet Barry or Brendan Venter or even my school mate Hennie le Roux who was a brilliant 10 but never a 12, he was far too small for 12.
One 12 I really rated but he never got many tests was Heinrich Fuls and Danie v Schalkwyk - geez blasts from the past. There was a Scholtz as well, was it Christian Scholtz? I think Danie was a 13, who played alongside Wynand Olivier? But I’m not sure
Adi Jacobs ….
backline bullet:
Adi Jacobs was utter shit
Could not tackle for shit
Another Juan de Jongh
Wrong he had the lowest tackles missed by centers
percentage in the 2008 RC.
Give me a break - there was a reason he was called revolving door
Give you a break? Is this the no mas moment? The revolving door and
that’s proof? He was a fan target because fans wanted Fury. Adi like Juan de Jongh was an excellent open field tackler.
He was utterly shit - could not tackle to save his life and that spans his entire career
Fourie vs Adi is unbelievably insulting
Back to wild assertions.
Nope I saw him playing for years on par with Juan de Jongh - both utterly shit
Up there with de Wet Barry and Braam v Straaten

Guys that were always on your lists and who ‘proved’ the coaches were stupid when not selected. This is a list that would actually entertain. Here are a few examples:
Meisiekind
Luke Watson
Pat Lambie
Serfontein (was going to be bigger than JdV)
Marcel Coetzee
Quince
JJ Englebrecht ….hahaha
Jantjies
Jaco Taute (another name you never let go)
Chilliboy…..oh boy!
Gelant
The Deysel Twins…..always a favorite
Marcel van der Merwe…..surely your favorite prop of all time?
But being a MSC of lists you could multiply this brief attempt by 5. Go ahead give us your list of Dave test flops please.
