IN IT TO WING IT

Kurt-Lee is embracing healthy competition in Springbok team

- BY LEIGHTON KOOPMAN

SPRINGBOK wing Kurt-Lee Arendse is happy to see the depth in the squad, especially at wing, and the healthy competition from within to keep the world champions sterk.

Arendse, who scored a try in the first Test against Italy, is back in the span after sitting out the second clash, where newcomer Edwill van der Merwe took his chance with both hands. Van der Merwe, who will partner Arendse against Georgia on Saturday in Nelspruit at 5.10pm, bagged a brace in the second match.

Cheslin Kolbe and Makazole Mapimpi are the other wings in the Bok fold, while a few youngsters are also knocking on the door.
