Specman, due to play in his 35th tournament, was a late withdrawal from the Hong Kong trip due to a knee strain, while Snyman said Leyds and Pretorius will bring energy and game breaking abilities. The Blitzbok coach said these things influenced the selection of the Singapore squad, as well as a couple of injuries sustained in Hong Kong.
“Ideally, we want to be able to have three players in each position available for selection when it comes to the last two big tournaments, and that will give Tristan and Tiaan the opportunity to build some momentum.”“They are three massively experienced players with very positive personalities and will bring energy and skill to this group,” he said.
