GARY Teichmann, former Springbok and Natal skipper, will return to South Africa next week to lead his Welsh side Newport against the Sharks as part of his benefit year celebrations. The celebrations kick off on Saturday when Newoport will play a warm-up match against Teichman’s old club College Rovers. Apart from Teichmann, the side also features a number of South African and international stars, with Andy Marinos, Franco Smith, Shane Howarth, Jason Jones-Hughes and Peter Rodgers in the line-up. The highlight of the visit takes place on June 3 when Newport take on the Natal Sharks at King’s Park, with Teichmann switching sides at half-time.
