Re: Leinster's Saffer lock is on his way back to SA

He’s always struck me as a player lacking rugby nous. He’s a decent carrier but doesn’t run effective lines or make good decisions. He was a hockey player until his final year at school which probably explains that. He seems to have lost the pace he had as a youngster too.

Re: Leinster's Saffer lock is on his way back to SA

There is a lot to come from Jenkis. He is lucky and managed to stay injury free. He is one of the few players in World Rugby that can play at four, five, six (seven in SA) and eight. He is a great ball carrier. Sharks can field a mean pack with him and some others that are returning,. They already ...
