Hyeneke highlights Bok wake-up call


Springbok coach Heynecke Meyer says the performance of Irish referee George Clancy in Saturday's clash between South Africa and the World XV at Newlands has served as a wake-up call for the Boks. South Africa won the match in impressive fashion by 47-points to 13.

Meyer said the Springboks would have to adapt to the way whistlemen from the northern hemisphere policed breakdown play.

He said the Boks were more familiar with the style of southern hemisphere refs, who traditionally allow players less time over the ball with the result that it emerged quicker at breakdowns.

Meanwhile, Meyer also feels that Wales, who will play a warm-up game against EP Kings at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Tuesday evening, will prove to be formidable opponents.

Cheetahs prop Trevor Nyakane has also been added to the Bok squad.
