Poll: Stay or go for Hanekom?

Yesterday at 05:09 AM

Having been snubbed from the November tour, should Wales-eligible Cameron Hanekom pack his bags for the Dragons?

A 34-player Springbok squad announced on Tuesday had no space for Hanekom, despite his continued outstanding form for the Vodacom Bulls.

Hanekom has been in superb form since making his debut at the start of last season for a Bulls side that reached the Vodacom URC final earlier this year.

The 22-year-old was nominated for the Vodacom URC Player of the Year award after a debut season that saw him ranked fourth among South African loose forwards for carries and second overall in the competition for offloads.

According to a poll run by SARugbymag.co.za, 57% of fans felt that Hanekom was the most unfortunate to have missed out on the end-of-year-tour squad, with Rassie Erasmus opting to keep the faith in his tried-and-tested World Cup winners.

Qualified to represent Wales through a grandparent, it is believed that the former Junior Springbok might pique Warren Gatland's interest.
