Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus has given Damian Willemse the responsibility of bringing calm to teammate Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu.
The quick-stepping Willemse’s inclusion at 12 for Saturday’s must-win Rugby Championship Test against the All Blacks in Wellington, in a new-look centre combination with Canan Moodie, has raised some eyebrows since Erasmus’ team announcement on Monday.
But Erasmus is confident in his choice – and in Willemse’s ability.
“He’s definitely a guy who fronts up at 12 so let’s get him back into the mix.”
