Wessels happy to settle as a prop

COACHES: STILL NOT ENTIRELY SURE WHERE TO BEST USE THE BIG BULLS FRONT-ROWER

- Jacques van der Westhuyzen

If Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu has been the find of the international season, then Jan-Hendrik Wessels has been the surprise selection.

Not too many rugby watchers would have predicted that Wessels would be part of the Springbok set-up this season, especially after not even securing a place in the Bulls' first-choice 23.

The former Grey College prodigy has at times over the last year not even made the Bulls' second team, but just a few weeks ago was called into the Boks' squad for the first time and he then made his debut against Portugal in Bloemfontein two Saturdays ago.

Obviously, Bok mentor Rassie Erasmus has had his eye on the 23-year-old for some time, as had Bulls coach Jake White, but the problem for Wessels, and his coaches, is that they both probably still don't know where best to use the big man.
