Victor Matfield too old?
Nonsense!
The man is an athlete of above average prowess.
Why should age be a factor?
He is the best in the world and whilst he is that, he should play.
There was a time where a Springbok captain was kept in the team beyond his performance..
Eg. John Smit.
This is not the case with Matfield.
He is even better than he was before.
The two years sabbatical has done him very well.
Both Dan Carter and Richie McCaw of the All Blacks have had a six-month sabbatical rest, and it shows.
