Players to Watch: South Africa

Heinrich Brussow:

If there is a player in the 'Bok team that will pester and worry the opposition it is this Bloemfontein flanker. He is well known in the Southern Hemisphere as the live-wire loose forward who could turn the ball over at any opportunity.

A player in close second to watch out for, would be Bismark du Plessis
