In his latest Rucking with Rob newsletter, Rob Houwing says he was impressed by Bulls No 8 Cameron Hanekom against Northampton but acknowledges his yellow card proved costly.
Based on his overall performance, Bulls No 8 Cameron Hanekom firmly reminded the South African rugby public - despite their walloping from Northampton in the Champions Cup quarter-final on Saturday - of his Springbok potential a little up the line.
Particularly in the first half at Franklin's Gardens, as a decidedly "experimental" visiting combo offered gallant resistance against the Premiership leaders, 21-year-old Hanekom earned frequent bouquets from the English television commentators for his constructive feistiness which included a barrelling 13th-minute try.
