Centre role excites Jantjies

Melbourne - Elton Jantjies says he’s excited to play at inside centre when the Lions face the Melbourne Rebels in a Super Rugby clash on Friday.

Lions head coach Johan Ackermann made a surprise selection when he named both regular flyhalves Marnitz Boshoff and Elton Jantjies in his starting line-up. Boshoff will feature in the No 10 jersey, while Jantjies was named at inside centre.

Jantjies said he is prepared to play a new role for his team for this weekend’s Super Rugby clash.
