Reading this thread back is highly amusing.
Back in the early 2000s the motto of the club - highly derided by fans of other teams until c. 2004 - was BELIEVE! After what we have seen so far it seems just as appropriate at the start of the Rohan Smith era...
While having four international props in the squad would be nice, perhaps Smith is proving that balance across the squad is equally if not more important? So much for the southstander 'intelligentsia'
