5 talking points: Super Rugby Week 7

Cape Town - Sport24 highlights 5 talking points after Round 7's action of Super Rugby.

1. Cheslin Kolbe’s size

Cheslin Kolbe's size was again a big point of discussion during the Highlanders v Stormers game in Dunedin. This came after Highlanders wing Waisake Naholo ran straight over Kolbe for his second try of the night. The Stormers fullback went too high in the tackle and was swatted aside like a fly. This will not help Kolbe’s chances of selection by Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer, who is known to like big, physical players. Perhaps Nick Mallett’s suggestion that Kolbe should shift to scrumhalf is not such a bad call. In Kolbe’s defence though, Naholo is a man mountain and I doubt many backline players in world rugby would have stopped him from that position.
