Who was responsible for Cats selection this season?

It remains a mystery to me how the Cats backline containing Springboks from 9 to 14, have been mixed and matched all over the show this season.

Tonight they looked the business against the Blues, with Pretorius, Julies and Fourie setting the park alight.

Unfortunately, the backs looked as defensively frail as ever and as a Stormers supporter, I rejoice the day Earl Rose turned his back on the Stormers for bigger money.

Other players in the Cats look good, none more so than Ernst Joubert and Baywatch Grobbelaar. The new pick, Jano Vermaak, was a breath of fresh air.

With Alistair Coetzee, the Bok backline coach, coaching the Cats backs, it is a complete mystery why so many variations of the Bok backline have been tried before trying players in their default positions.
