Can De Waal boot Province to glory?

Western Province will go out on Saturday to do correctly what the British and Irish Lions did wrong in their recent Test match against the Springboks at Loftus Versfeld, writes Gavin Rich in the Cape Argus.

"Anyone who cares to go through a video of the first half of the recent second Test match at the venue of Saturday's big north-south domestic showdown between WP and the Blue Bulls should be quite startled by at least one aspect of those opening 40 minutes - seldom has a team dominated as comprehensively as the Lions did and yet only be eight points ahead on the scoreboard.

"...With De Waal in the side, there should never be a reason for WP to run from their own half for the simple reason that they have a kicker who can always ensure they have good positions to attack from."
