BOKS: TSHITUKA FINALLY ON THE VERGE OF REALISING A LIFELONG DREAM
Vincent Tshituka just wanted to be in the race, and now he is finally approaching the finish line, with him set to represent the Springboks for the first time when they take on the Barbarians in Cape Town on Saturday.
It won't be an official Test cap, in the non-Test against the famed invitational team, but it should be the start of a Bok career that was probably delayed by a few years due to circumstances out of his control.
Ever since his impressive performances for the Lions a few years ago, before he moved to the Sharks and continued his fine form, there have been rumblings about the Democratic Republic of Congo-born Tshituka donning the green and gold.
