Curwin Bosch, one of the players desperately unlucky to miss the Springbok cut, has a chance to show his wares in a Test environment against the British and Irish Lions at Ellis Park on Wednesday (19:00 kick-off). The Sharks pivot goes mano-a-mano with accomplished Welsh counterpart Dan Biggar in the second Lions series tour game, looking to dispel doubt that he is an international-calibre flyhalf. The British and Irish Lions dismantled Ivan van Rooyen's Lions in Johannesburg 56-14 without breaking much of a sweat - a sobering warning sign to the largely depleted Sharks. "Curwin has led our team, our game management and our attack in the last 12 months really well. "Curwin is a leader within the team, although he's not the captain, and he does run the show."
