Saturday's Rugby Championship clash against Argentina may well be Marvin Orie's last opportunity to convince the Springbok coaches of his credentials before they name their squad for this year's Rugby World Cup.
The Boks play Los Pumas this weekend at Ellis Park and in Buenos Aires the following Saturday before the 33-man squad is named for the World Cup in France.
He is now a respected line-out practitioner and stoker of the second row fires, crucially, never to boiling point. “I’m sure people probably wonder that when there is a scuffle he doesn’t look calm, but he is incredibly calm and that comes with experience. If there is a bit of pressure or any hastiness, he brings that calmness which helps me as well.”
