He said the fact that more of his Cats teammates are going to be in the Bok starting line-up, which will be announced on Wednesday, would help his own game. I think it takes some time to get used to certain players. There were four guys from the other regions in the previous team, so it took a little bit of time adapting to all the Stormers. But the Stormers played together a lot and if there are more Cats in the team for Saturday, it would help my own game for sure. But having said that, if we had played three or four more games with the team we had started out with, it also would've clicked after a while.
Springboks huddle up in training.
Springbok coach Nick Mallett has brought Louis Koen in at flyhalf in place of the concussed Braam van Straaten and is hoping the Cats flyhalf can bring his loose forwards more into play than was the case in the three Tests thus far. Erasmus said he had played a lot of Vodacom Super 12 games with Koen, so he knows his game better. And obviously Louis knows me better than Braam. It may take some time for Louis to find his feet. Braam has his strengths and so does Louis, but I must say I'm more familiar with Louis' style of play and in a way that will help me.
