While Springboks loosehead Steven Kitshoff said it was a ’total team performance’, he hailed the impact of the ’unbelievable’ Trevor Nyakane off the bench. By WynonaLouw IOLSport RSAvBIL Springboks LionsRugby LionsSA2021
Despite last week’s strong showing, how Nyakane would go on the night might have been a bit of a talking point considering he was penned down for a different role. For the second Test, Nyakane was named on the bench as loosehead cover. It is, however, a role he took to excellently, Kitshoff said after the game.
“It is a total conversion from tighthead to loosehead, and that in seven days. I think he did exceptionally well and put the Lions scrum under a lot of pressure,” Kitshoff, who played in his 50 Test, said.“I am proud of him. He had to learn a bunch of calls from the lineout, he did a great job. “He has always been an unbelievable rugby player in my eyes. He rocks up, brings a lot of physicality. He is very clever when it comes to decision-making. We can be proud of his performance tonight.
