Butch James - sorry you're back

I mentioned Butch's mountaineering incident on Luke Watson in my match analysis.

Watching my recording of the game, I was astounded by the number of incidents involving him. He was lucky the Stormers did not attack his channel from rucks more (mainly because they did not have many of their own rucks). Butch was in virtually every ruck on defense - 80% of the time with a Stormers player in a headlock.

In the loose or in any tackle he made, he looked to get some needle in.

There was also talk for a citing for Butch's punch on Watson.

If Butch concentrated on his game, he could be one of the best. He has proved over a number of years he cannot.
