Disappointed, would rather him see in a Springbok jersey than the pest jersey. :smt011

He can still be picked, hasn't Rassie changed the rules on that?

It was more of a exception than a rule change I thought.

Sounds more like a flimsy 'only those with over 30 caps rule' to discourage leavers but ultimately they can, and will, be selected if wanted:

There is no clarity on what these rules actually are, or whether simply saying: “they are the best players available, you idiots” will suffice.

Bit More "Rassie's Whim" than "Gatland's law" but essentially amounts to the same IMO

Anyone remember Juarno Augustus from last year’s U20s, he’s probably going to challenge Notshe for the No8 shirt next season.
