Former Bulls and Springboks winger Akona Ndungane says he is concerned by the lack of depth at flyhalf.As the Springboks continue preparations for the Rugby World Cup in France next year, former winger Akona Ndungane says while the team has enough depth he is worried about the flyhalf position.
In the absence of Pollard and Jantjies, Nienaber has put the kicking faith in Damian Willemse, Cheslin Kolbe and recently the inexperienced Manie Libbok, but Ndungane says an experienced driver is needed in that crucial position. “We must find a '10' that we can back if Handrè or Elton are not in the squad. No. 10 is a very important position for the team and you need a driver.”“I feel every other position is sort of covered, but with Lukhanyo not being there we are a bit short at ‘13’. There are a few players who have put up their hands up for their respective unions, like Henco van Wyk at the Lions.
