Frans Steyn's last Bok Test as starting flyhalf: Victor Matfield as ... (News24)

Springbok veteran Frans Steyn has been backed at No 10 for Saturday's Rugby Championship decider against Argentina in Durban.

In fact, that game was the only time Steyn started at Bok Test in the No 10 jersey, although he did play in the position as a replacement a few times. Lock Victor Matfield was the captain in a Bok pack that also featured Luke Watson at flank. However, with Damian Willemse out with concussion and Handre Pollard and Elton Jantjies also out of the fray, 35-year-old Steyn is the only option left in the Bok squad to take the No 10 jersey.

Willie le Roux as Springboks flyhalf? (TDPel Media)

Cape Town Springboks head coach Jacques Nienaber's decision to play Frans Steyn at flyhalf for Saturday's match against Argentina is still.

It is unnecessary to have All Three of Mostert, Duane Vermeulen, and Smith on the bench, as De Klerk and Arendse can cover the defense. The latter has demonstrated genuine “energy and excitement” against the Wallabies and Los Pumas in Sydney and Buenos Aires, whilst Du Toit has struggled since returning from injury. The 33-year-old has an exceptional passing game, sufficient speed to challenge the defense, and an underrated kicking game.

Should the Springboks have picked Willie le Roux as flyhalf? (TDPel Media)

Although I may not always agree with it, I can still understand why Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber chose Frans Steyn for the match against Argentina on.

Andre Esterhuizen, who covers the middle and has played flyhalf for his English side Harlequins, would have been a good acquisition. The energetic, young-looking Steyn who won admiration in the 2007 Rugby World Cup was a bundle of energy, but we know what to expect from the 35-year-old now: a powerful defensive player, a booming kicker, and a capable ball handler. The 33-year-kicking old’s skill is underappreciated, and he possesses a great passing technique and enough speed to outrun the defence.
