Ah that makes sense. Yeah boks have a lot of older players, most still good, but some are past their use by (e.g. Le Roux) and fresh blood is good

Damian Willemse (DHL Stormers) -
He is going for an op.

@OomPB Looks incredibly strong. You guys have a lot more depth than we do atm. Where's RG?
-
was going to use "lock/6" but realised you guys number your flankers wrong.Open side and 2 is an interesting combo at this level.
Even Mealamu was a converted flanker, but not sure when he made the switch.

@Machpants look like we'll see some SA A matches this year.
