Edwill van der Merwe, a standout wing for the Lions, aims to regain his place in the Springboks squad. After a strong debut for the national team, an injury hampered his progress. Van der Merwe believes consistent performances for the Lions will be key to earning another call-up.
Edwill van der Merwe is desperate to represent the Springboks again, but the one-Test speedster knows his best chance to impress Rassie Erasmus is by starring for the Lions .
However, an ankle injury during a Currie Cup match in July sidelined Van der Merwe until the start of October, and the 28-year-old was overlooked for the Boks’ end-of-year tour. Looking to get back to winning ways and help secure a third successive appearance in the Challenge Cup playoffs, a win for Ivan van Rooyen’s charges against Montpellier or the Dragons at Ellis Park next week is likely to be sufficient to book a spot in the round of 16.
