Stormers head coach John Dobson selects a team made up of the best he’s seen play the game.
In the old days coaches talked about the scrumhalf “getting the backs away”. It’s very different now in how the No 9 must drive the other 14 players forward and Fourie gets my vote because of what he did for his pack of forwards.A lot of this depends on which eras you played. If you look at Zinzan Brook and Buck Shelford, only 10 years apart and so different, but which would suit today’s rugby? The roles of the No 8 have ebbed and flowed in physicality versus playmaking.
Gert gave me a job! That aside, I saw him score the greatest try I’ve ever seen while playing in Potchefstroom. He caught a ball pinned against the touchline in his own half with 15 opposition players in front of him and scored under the poles. Big. Fast. Aggressive.The bias continues! Rob changed the traditional role of an openside flanker with creative play. He was a forward who could link, and he stood for a lot of things.
