Here they are:
Active Players Closing In On 100 Caps. All three are all time greats and hopefully all will make it. Pollard may be the one who misses out but should make it.
Pieter-Steph du Toit (98 caps) – The two-time World Rugby Player of the Year is just two games away from joining the club. GREATEST NUMBER 7 IN RUGBY HISTORY
Malcolm Marx (89+ caps) – The elite hooker entered the 2026 season in the "nervous nineties" territory and is steadily approaching the mark. ONE OF THE GREATEST HOOKERS EVER
Handre Pollard (87 caps) – The double World Cup-winning fly-half remains a crucial veteran presence within striking distance. POSSIBLY THE MOST CLUTCH FLYHALF EVER.

Sorry I do not hate any players. I just do a real assessment of players - the positivss and negatoves of players. In the case of Esterhuizen I saw him losing the Under 20 RWC in 2013 when he kno/cked omn a good pass to him woth no defenders between him and the trymline.
As a scetner for boith the Springboks he was just not good enough as a center, He scored more ries for he Springboks whn he was playing as a loosie than he scored as a center, Ai center over the last two years the Sgharks has had the forwards to win - but the backline was not up to standard - he was not a player with ball sense and was short on skills as well.
While he was a coach for th e S harks in 2014 he moved Estrhuizen too play at 7 and that was one of the ebtter decisions taken of White. Rassie also statin g Estrhuizen basocally as a loosie, because basically he is not really qa real center.

@clevermike where did Rassie state that Andre is basically a loose forward? This post confirms your hate for certain players.
