The 35-year-old Steyn‚ who will play his first Super Rugby match since 2013‚ was chosen by Human at flyhalf ahead of promising Manie Libbok for the season opening clash against the Sharks in Durban on Friday. “Morne is happy to be back here at Loftus where he made a name for himself‚” said Human as he announced a strong squad for the trip to Kings Park.
Steyn‚ who has won Super Rugby three times with the Bulls in the past‚ will form the halfback combination with Ivan van Zyl while Embrose Papier‚ who enjoyed a successful loan to the Sale Sharks in Manchester‚ will provide backup. “He is fit at this stage‚ together with Lizo had a few weeks with us at training but I just thought its better for him to come from the bench. Lizo is in better form and that’s why he is starting this week.”
“We know that the Sharks always bring the physical battle‚ that’s why we went with the 6/2 split on the bench. Our forwards have to pitch for this game and we have to give a complete 80 minutes performance. They thrive on turnovers and that’s why we have to cut down on our mistakes. You don’t need to motivate the guys for a match like this‚ if they are not up for the fight‚ it will show on the field.
