Springbok Legend ‘Beast’ Says the Legacy Unstoppable
One of Springboks most capped players, Tendai Mtawarira, believes Rassie Erasmus’ side will cruise past Wales.
Tendai Mtawarira has high hopes for the Springboks.
The former World Cup winner, otherwise known as ‘Beast’, knows a thing or two about playing rugby for the Springboks, racking up 117 caps in his illustrious, award-winning career.
Not only is he the third-most-capped Springbok, but he is also the most-capped forward to play for South Africa; regarding club rugby, he played 159 times for the Sharks in Super Rugby – the most by any South African player.
A happy “Beast”
Mtawarira likes what he sees from Rassie Erasmus’ side, who he believes will put on another dominant display when they face Wales this Saturday.
Kick-off: 19:40
“Yeah, no, obviously Wales will also be desperate. You know they’ve been struggling but I think we can take a lot of confidence. We have a lot of depth, there’s a lot of positives you know, so I’m sure Rassie will ring the changes and give the other guys a chance,” Mtawarira told SABC Sport.
“So, I think everyone in that team is hungry, so, whoever he puts on the field is doing the job and I’m sure they’ll do the job next week again.
“It was a wonderful game, it was very competitive from the onset and England played really well, it’s just that they didn’t have enough and the Springboks are just on a high now,” he added.
“Every player on that Springbok team put their hand up. I’m truly proud of what they are achieving, they are just going higher and higher so this game was a massive milestone for them and congrats to the Bokke.
“Yes, they have certainly left the stamp. This was a very hungry England side that has lost the last two biters against New Zealand and Australia so they are very desperate.
“So, for us to come and handle the pressure and be able to put them away comfortably, it’s a massive notch on Rassie and the players. It’s now becoming a massive hunting ground for us, so hopefully from now on.”
