Duhan van der Merwe is in line to join a small band of British and Irish Lions who have played against their country of birth after being selected on Thursday for the tour of his native South Africa.
The 25-year-old flyer is a former South African junior international, who played against new Lions team mate Maro Itoje in the junior World Cup final seven years ago but has since become a Scottish internationalVan der Merwe, who started his career at Blue Bulls in Pretoria and whose elder brother Alker has won three caps for the Springboks, debuted for Scotland last October after serving a three-year residency period and quickly made a strong impact with his forceful running on the wing.
The other South African-born Lions were Brian Black , Matt Stevens , Brad Barritt and Ian Evans and Allan Dell .Van der Merwe could once have expected a hostile reception in Lions' colours but that is unlikely now given how regularly the Springboks face South African-born players in other test nation teams – a growing phenomenon as players leave to play for better paying clubs overseas.Van der Merwe’s family in the Eastern Cape have been right behind his new international career.
