Zane “Sideshow Bob” Kirchner just isn’t the answer at #15! Frans Steyn is sorely missed at the moment. Any fullback that does this in defence, simply isn’t good enough to wear the Green and Gold jumper:
Zane Kirchner – No Frans Steyn! [Blogspotrugby]
Jip, its a shocker. If you take a look at how this clown played during the super 14, then there is not one moment that one can remember him in. He does not leave a lasting impression.
Steyntjie on the other hand…how many long range drop goals did this guy take? How many try saving tackles? Hardly ever drops the ball etc etc.
My main reason for wanting to see Steyn in the team is because of his boot.
All the teams playing the boks these days have the same tactic. They drop a bomb and 98% of the time, the fullback drops it.
If you have Steyn there, he will catch it and probably take 3 points out of the situation, thus, teams will kick less, and the boks can take them upfront.
But now the forwards are so tired from running up and down that they start slacking, and thats when teams will exploit us.
