I can’t believe Rod Kafer. His rugby brain is proclaimed by most but finished last night by saying that he didn’t realise how good Isi Naisarani was. That his performance had surprised him. This on the back of him (and a few other ‘experts’) not picking him in their anticipated Wallaby squads a couple of weeks ago.
I mean this guy is paid to be a rugby expert. . By a few organisations.
What didn’t he see in Isi? He stood out in club footy up here, but I can forgive him for that. But then he was one of the best in the NRC in his debut year. Then he stepped up and was one of the Force’s best in his first year of Super Rugby. He was again one of the Rebel’s best this year (their player of the year?). Every year he’s been challenged by a new level of rugby and every year he’s excelled.
He plays in the backrow which is a position we’ve been crying out for the right balance and he specifically plays a position, in a way, that we’ve struggled to fill since Kefu retired in 03.
I mean I realised how good he was 3 years ago. I’m sure I’m not Robinson Crusoe there.
I just can’t believe that these so called experts can be so naive to his abilities.
Kafe may not have noticed as he doesn't play for the ponies, he only really has two thing on his mind his love of the ponies and his hatred of the Tahs
Naisarani has been the best Aus 8 for ages
