Head coach Jacques Nienaber hailed the skill and versatility of the much-changed Springbok 23 to face Romania in the second round of the World Cup on Sunday.
Nienaber named all four scrumhalves in the Bok squad in the team for this weekend’s clash in Bordeaux, headlined by Grant Williams starting on the right wing, while Faf de Klerk will provide flyhalf cover from the bench.
“Grant played school rugby on the wing, and he has come on at wing before for us, so we are excited to give him this opportunity to start there and for him to gain international experience in the position. “This squad includes several World Cup winners and some of the best young talent in the country and we are excited to see what they can do,” the coach added.
