    Impressive resume , great rugby schoool (school of many past boks) and captain of U20.

    Had him in my fantasy team last year and got lots of points for him. Lucky for us the other young lad Grobbelaar had a great introduction to Super 15 but next year more teams will be aware of him, but opened an opportunity for us to snare a potentially great player.

    Excited to have him on board, a huge step up from Pretorious, Ripia and Harvey.

    Welkom by Perth, jong man ons kan nie wag om u op die veld to sien (Hope this came out right, I have not spoken or written Afrikaans for many years)

    so if my stats display right, in 4 Years (2008 - 2012, professional rugby) he has 658 points and average of 164.5 points a year...

    or in Super Rugby + Currie Cup (as courtesy of Wiki) he has averaged 9 points a game...

    EWF + me would take that every year !!

    Great information TDevil.

    I am sure we have never had anyone cl;ose to those stats before.

    Looks like a great signing, I am even more excited about the Force future now, and also bearing in mind Poey was involved in the signing, I really and truley now believe Poey will be here next year and hopefully a lot longer.

    It would be worth considering in those stats that the Stormers were shit hot last year with exception to their semi against the Crusaders. The Sharks and Bulls were successful teams too.

    And he would have had to play against each of them twice!

    His kicking vs running stats don't instil a heap of confidence in me, but his line breaks are awesome!

    LIONS 27 (Elton Jantjies 9 pens) bt CHEETAHS 25 (WP Nel try Johan Goosen con 5 pens drop goal) at Ellis Park. Referee: Mark Lawrence.
    You're right. S15 Extra Time credited that to S. Ebersohn.

    But does he really want to be here? Just read a story on NZ's Rugby E news that quotes him as saying the Cheetah's coaches left him with no other option than to accept the Force's offer after they selected another 10 when Goosen got injured. Have to be convinced he really wants to come here
