Gavin Rich, writing in The Cape Argus, advises caution over heralding Heinrich Brussow as the next big thing in world rugby.

"It's just that when you have been in this business for a while you learn to defer judgement. "Mistakes that have been made by this pen include referring to Chris Rossouw as 'the new Stephen Larkham' when he had played just one game for Western Province. Ouch! "It happens to everyone. The other day I stumbled across the archive for my columns, and I came across one written eight years ago titled 'The new Joost is like Dolly the Sheep'. "It was about a young scrumhalf being written up as the new Joost van der Westhuizen after he scored four tries for the Blue Bulls in a Currie Cup match. This was a guy many other critics, but not this one, were tipping to become a Bok. His name was Coenrad Groenewald. Anyone heard of him since then?"
