The commentators in the last SA match mentioned him possibly re-thinking his retirement in the hope of a crack at the RWC squad. Personally I don't think he'd be in the squad if (and it's a big "if") the other hookers are fit, available, and in good form. I'd put him behind Marx, du Plessis and Mbonambi, plus the brilliantly named Chilliboy is back on the scene and playing well. There is also Acker van der Merwe who is a real find. But you never know...
