Steven KITSHOFF

The jury is certainly out about whether Kitshoff is as powerful as he has been made out to be. He left SA shores for a contract in France but then was lured back to this country with a promise of getting a national contract. Kitshoff is still a rookie at Test level, has hardly become a regular starter and is still to prove himself the best for the front row. Like Oosthuizen and Mtawarira, he needs to justify all the hype but it won’t happen if he doesn’t play.
