It remains to be seen if Cameron Hanekom might be tempted to switch allegiances to Wales after missing out on Springbok selection.
Hanekom has been one of the standout domestic performers in South African rugby ever since making his debut at the start of last season, and many pundits felt he could be in line for a Springbok debut during the November Tests.
It’s highly unlikely that Hanekom would feel he needs to switch allegiances at this stage of his career, and earlier this year Bulls coach Jake White also quickly moved to shut down any speculation that Hanekom could be poached. “I didn’t know until one of the BBC commentators told me at training!” he explained. “He said ‘Did you know this kid is Welsh qualified?’ and the next day I read in the paper he’s got a grandmother who qualifies him for the Welsh team.
