Lions speedster Edwill van der Merwe is very positive for someone who missed out on a major opportunity after picking up an ankle injury.
Van der Merwe is confident he will be able to come back even stronger than before he was injured.Lions speedster and recent Springbok debutant Edwill van der Merwe is very positive for someone who has missed out on a major opportunity due to picking up an ankle injury playing in the Currie Cup last month.
It is extremely probable that Van der Merwe would have received another chance to shine after his brilliant debut, possibly against Portugal and even Australia, as other recent Bok fringe players and debutants did. “It is disappointing, but I’ve been disappointed a few times in my life to know how to pick myself up. Obviously, as part of being a professional rugby player, you get setbacks. I think the biggest thing is how you pick yourself back up and go again. So that’s probably the most rewarding part,” explained Van Der Merwe.
“There’s no set date . I have to see the specialist, and then I’ll probably get a bit more clarity, but hopefully in the next few weeks.
