Vodacom Bulls coach Jake White says Cameron Hanekom could play a similar role to Ireland’s Josh van der Flier in Saturday’s Vodacom URC match against the Sharks at Kings Park.
White has moved Hanekom from eighthman to openside flank, with Cobus Wiese at blindside flank and captain Elrigh Louw at No 8.
“When I was Springbok coach we had Juan Smith, who is Cobus-like in shape; Schalk Burger, who is Cameron-like in shape; and Elrigh’s body shape is like Danie Rossouw, Pierre Spies and Joe van Niekerk. “Cameron has played really well at 8, but I’d like to see him playing 6 in a combination, a little like how Josh van der Flier plays . If Cameron gets the ball on the edge, he can run like an outside back, and then we get Cobus and Elrigh to carry in the midfield.”
