Rassie Erasmus - Ntokozo Makhaza

Loading player...
The Springbok coach, Rassie Erasmus, says the Toyota Cheetahs-bound winger, Ntokozo Makhaza, will definitely wear the green and gold in future — but not just yet.
Makhaza, who is yet to feature in a senior tournament like the Currie Cup, has been included in Erasmus’ 55-man squad for the upcoming match against the Barbarians, as well as the Test matches against Italy and Georgia.
The two-time Varsity Cup Player of the Year signed with the Cheetahs at the conclusion of the tournament earlier this year and is eager to make an impression.
Erasmus says the youngster's time will come, but patience is key.
