There is even more to Siyaya than fullback, flyhalf — the teen sensation is an SA Schools wing

Zekhethelo Siyaya is among the 10 uncapped stars called by Rassie Erasmus in the 40-man squad.

TEN uncapped players are soaking up the Springboks atmosphere at the alignment camp in Cape Town that kicked off on Tuesday, May 19, and while a fair number of them will play for South Africa at some point, I am going to back one, in particular, who will be in the World Cup squad for Australia next year.

The uncapped hopefuls are Paul de Villiers, Bathobele Hlekani, Francke Horn, Sibo Mahashe, Riley Norton, Haashim Pead, Zekhethelo Siyaya, Emmanuel Tshituka, Henco van Wyk, and Jaco Williams.

Of the 10, the most versatile are Williams and Siyaya. Williams has played fullback and wing for the Sharks, and might well play his way into the World Cup squad over the 17 months to the big kick-off in Sydney, but I will bet the rent money on Siyaya filing a utility back role in Australia.

That is because another string to his bow is not yet widely known. In four sensational appearances for the Sharks at the end of the United Rugby Championship, we saw the 18-year-old excel at fullback and flyhalf, but he is also an excellent wing.
