Canan Moodie, the 19-year-old prodigy from the Bulls, has been included on the right wing, Franco Mostert is at blindside flank, while Steven Kitshoff is the starting loose head prop. “He has been with us for a month. He is a very coachable player. He works hard and he works on detail. He is mature in the rugby environment,” said the coach.
Pollard may be more adept at cracking the whip that moves the heavy traffic, but Willemse has the vast skill set to make himself and those around him soar in equal measure.
