Fassi makes the most of lifeline

FORM: STRONG CASE FOR REGULAR NO 15 BOK JERSEY

- Ross Roche

Springbok fullback Aphelele Fassi has been making the most of his second chance with the Boks, and is now one of the team"s two frontline number 15's after a top season.

He is preparing to end off a superb year back in the green and gold when the team takes on Wales in their final end-of-year tour match in Cardiff tomorrow night (kick-off 7.4opm).

Two years ago it was during the home series against the Welsh, that Fassi found himself out in the cold, after he was dropped from the Bok squad and instructed to work on certain aspects of his game to get back into contention.
