“I’m excited‚” enthused Tshituka about the prospect of going up against All Blacks backrower Ardie Savea. “Every time I go up against [big] names I want to see how I go. I’ve always been up against it my entire life coming from a small school. It has been a quick change of fortunes for Tshituka who debuted earlier this season before yielding to an ankle injury. He has played like a man possessed since his return.

His strong performance against the Stormers was recognised by the crowd who gave him‚ and others who departed the scene early‚ rapturous applause when they walked off. “We were always transitioning‚” he said about the team and their earlier defeats on tour and in conference play.
