Springbok assistant coach Mzwandile Stick is excited about the balance of the team’s backline for Saturday’s Test against Wales at Twickenham in London.
There are two uncapped players in the Bok starting backline, with Lions duo Jordan Hendrikse (flyhalf) and Edwill van der Merwe (winger) cracking the nod. There are also two debutants on the bench, in Stormers pair Ben-Jason Dixon (lock) and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu (utility back).
But it’s the backline that has Stick particularly excited.
