Kolbe, who spent most of his early playing years at fullback, has morphed into arguably the most exciting wing in world rugby, but will be playing his first international game at fullback against Ireland.“It is good to have Cheslin back. He is a world class player, he’s very skilful, and might be small in stature but he has a big heart. We all know what he can do and we are excited to see him on the field again,” admitted Stick.
“Giving him an opportunity at fullback was always the plan. He was always our back-up to Willie , and we have Willie on the bench, who has done the job for us before. “If you look at the balance we have got with our outside backs it makes me excited to see what Cheslin can do from the back. He has a lot of experience playing with Mapimpi, and in Kurt-Lee some people say it’s a copy and paste .“So our balance is really good at the back and if you look at the guys we have on the bench, like Willie, we know we are covered if anything happens. We also know Sexton is very experienced but we believe that Cheslin can do the job at the back.
“I think it is very different between the two halfback pairings. On the one side you have guys with a lot of x-factor, and on the other side you have very experienced guys, with Sexton who controls their team very well. “If you look around the world they are probably one of the best attacking sides, because Sexton is there as their captain running the show. So it is going to be a difficult challenge for us. But once again, the key thing for us is to make sure we execute our game plan very well.”
