Johan Mulder will be Cardiff’s secret weapon when they take on the Sharks at the Arms Park in the Vodacom URC on Saturday.
The South African scrumhalf will be familiar with many of the opposition from his time playing back in his homeland. Plus, if there are any calls flying about in Afrikaans, he will be able to translate for his teammates given it’s his first language.
“It will be fun going up against them, getting out on the park with some of your mates from back home, bashing each other up. I am looking forward to it. “The Stormers have more of a running game. They want to play expansive rugby and move the ball. I think the Sharks are a bit in between. “He’s a huge legend in South Africa and, in my opinion, one of the best scrum-halves to ever play the game.
“I haven’t played that much, but I’ve learned a lot. That’s already a win for me. It’s developed me as a player and I can only go up from there. “Cardiff is a great place to come and play rugby. Everybody is very friendly and welcoming and they all try to help each other. The club has helped me out a lot with getting settled in.”
