Trevor Nyakane is raring to go for the Springboks’ World Cup opener against Scotland on Sunday, with the veteran prop eager to defend and lift the Webb Ellis Cup.
Nyakane has been named on the bench in Marseille, where the 62-Test campaigner will be running out in his third World Cup after making his first appearance at the global showpiece in 2015.
Speaking in the lead-up to this weekend’s clash at Stade Marseille, the affable Nyakane described representing a Bok side chasing an unprecedented fourth world title a privilege. “It was sad for me when I got injured and had to leave [Japan]. But when I got home, I tried to see the positive in it in that my daughter was only born two weeks prior to that, so that kept me sane.
Zooming in on the match against Scotland on Sunday, the 34-year-old expected a challenging encounter.
