DANIELS IN SUPER 12 DEBUT

RISING black rugby star from Boland John Daniels makes his Super 12 debut on Friday for the Stormers clash against the Otago Highlanders in New Zealand. Pacey wing Daniels is regarded as one of the most nimble runners in South African rugby and gave Springbok star Pieter Rossouw the slip a number of times in the Boland vs Stormers trial match. Daniels, who has played on the Emerging Springbok team, says: “My aim is to make the World Cup squad but it’s one step at a time. My first aim is to perform well for the Stormers this Friday.”
