Vermeulen's Replacement FOUND? Willemse OUT of November tour

I thought Hendrikse would be called up, but the dude is over there right now, so he can just slot into the team on Monday.

Hanekom aint quite duane but we'll see people seem to forget how good duane was the guy was probably the strongest 8 by a mile he could probably tackle a buffalo

Don't think I've ever seen someone pull turnovers out the bag at will as much as Hanekom.

Only players I can think of who come close, and to be fair I haven't given it that much thought, I'm sure I'm missing a ton, but Duane, Pocock, Brussow, Savea, Kwagga and George Smith.

Malherbe also out injured. Must bring David Kriel into the bok squad now.

We must stop hyping people up so much when they start their international career. International rugby is tough enough to navigate without the added pressure of being compared to a legend with years of experience when you haven't even played one game. I love Cameron and wish he can become a legend in his own right, but let's just give the oke time to grow into the squad.

We don't have to compare CH with legendary Duane. CH already doing his own legendary stuff at his young age.

Two best 8th man performances we saw past 5 years: Duane in WC 2019 final against England, and Cameron in URC semi-final against Ireland. 💪👍

Yeah more of a Captain America….. will bring his own flair to the Boks

True

I do not get the anti Jasper sentiment. I think he is t perdect successor to Duane.

He definitely gets over the ball and wins turnovers like Thor

With the Boks' new "Tony Ball" game plan, I cannot think of a better candidate for the No 8 jersey than RG Snyman. For such a big man he is immensely agile, quick and excellent at off-loading. He could be an outstanding traditional No 8. We don't need another "smasher", we need a traditional No 8 in the Jannie Breedt or Warren Whitely mould ... playmakers, "linkers" and defenders across the length and breadth of the pitch.

Thor is a stretch. He is good but not as powerful as Duane

so Wales has missed out

Although I agree that Hanekom is a huge talent, I don't think we should compare him to anyone. Based on Rassie's game plan and player experience, Jasper is still the front runner.

Let’s just say like Sasha, he definitely has the potential to one day become the best in the world at his position.

i see spies in hanekom and even more

Hanekom wys sa.jy is die man wat ons soek in die bok span
