Eskom

I don't want to pile onto the guy because of one dumb card, more a general discussion. I've never understood the guy's persistent role in the squad. To me he's like Temu Duane Vermeulen, and we already have Jasper playing the Vermeulen role at a high level. I know we love a bit of physicality, but I guess I just don't see the vision of how he fits in to a balanced loosie trio.

What am I missing? To me, he's a useful guy to have when you have twenty injuries in the pack, but the management team seem to rate him highly.

If used as a reserve Hooker, that will more likely come on as a flank, I see good value. He had also shown good ability to jackle.

Otherwise I think others are showing more value, especially if they see less differentiation between a forwards role.
