Victor Matfield has called for a DHL Stormers playmaker to be installed as the successor to Springbok flyhalf Handre Pollard.
The former Springbok captain was speaking during a Vodacom United Rugby Championship online round table with the media on Tuesday.
The 22-year-old is currently sidelined with an injury, but has predominantly been utilised at inside centre this season, with Manie Libbok the first-choice flyhalf for the Stormers. When he has got a starting opportunity, he has taken it, scoring 60 points in six starts this season. “He is a bit bigger than Manie. I think he can attack the advantage line and kicks well. As a schoolboy, his kicking at the posts was superb. I would like to see the Stormers ask him to take over their goalkicking job.
