Boks: Coenie ‘worst dresser’

London – Call it the classic case of cheeky flyhalf giving burly prop a bit of “lip”.

But Springbok No 10 Handre Pollard admits he has risked his good health by suggesting team-mate Coenie Oosthuizen is not the owner of the nattiest attire.

In a profile in the official match-day magazine for the Boks’ closing RWC Pool B clash with the United States at the Olympic Stadium here (kick-off 17:45 SA time), he is asked to name the “worst dresser”.

His answer: “Difficult one, but must say Coenie (Oosthuizen). He’s going to kill me for that!”

Pollard starts and Oosthuizen is an impact substitute for the fixture, which ensures quarter-final passage if the Boks win.
