Boks utility back Willemse ready to hit the ground running against Canada

South Africa's Damian Willemse eludes New Zealand's Patrick Tuipulotu. Picture: REUTERS/Siphiwe SibekoOnce he arrived, it didn’t take long for him to get a start in the Springbok line-up for Tuesday’s Test against Canada.

They are likely to rely primarily on their forwards to bash it up‚ while their halfbacks and fullbacks will kick endlessly for favourable territory. Willemse‚ who joined the team last week as a replacement for Jesse Kriel‚ will run out at fullback on Tuesday after starting in that position in 2018 against England at Twickenham.

“The first few days were challenging coming over from England‚” said Willemse about his first week in Japan after his short stint on loan with Saracens. Willemse‚ who spent his formative years in the No 10 jersey‚ has too frequently switched between that position and fullback, and some of his appearances for the Boks in 2018 were on the wing.
