Seconds makes debut for SA ‘A’ side

The team leaves for Argentina tomorrow for a three match tour, including clashes against Buenos Aires and Argentina Provinces. The next two games take place on November 10 and 13 respectively.

Seconds made his Stormers debut last year against the Cats and has played 10 Super 12 games.

This year he made quite an impact in the Currie Cup competition for WP, scoring 13 tries, including a five-try haul against Griquas in Kimberley. He also achieved another milestone when he played his 50th game for Investec WP.

Coach Rudy Joubert said he was pleased with the preparations for the tour, and that the players have shown great commitment.

“The camp in Johannesburg has shown me that we have players who are committed to representing their country,” said Joubert. “I am really encouraged by the spirit in the camp, which tells me we will be very competitive on this tour.”

All players in the 30-man squad will be in the starting XV in at least one match during the tour.
