Trevor Nyakane is not one to shy away from a challenge or new adventure.
“There came a time at the union where we were short of tightheads. I was asked to start covering that position. At the time‚ if you asked me‚ I would have said I'm a loosehead just helping out at tighthead. But as time went on that started to change.
“At the moment I'm a loosehead because that is what the team needs. It's got nothing to do with Trevor himself. It is about South Africa and the Green and Gold. Even if they put me at lock I would go‚ but I'm not sure I would be a line-out option‚” quipped the 32-year-old.“They are not going to ask you for miracles. They are going to ask you for the things you've done and the things they know you are capable of doing. I've got the backing from them and from my teammates.
