Faf de Klerk is a scrumhalf but will be the reserve flyhalf for South Africa's Rugby World Cup game against Romania.And then there are the two actual scrumhalves in the team for Sunday in starting No. 9 Cobus Reinach and Jaden Hendrikse on the bench.
“From the start, people were wondering why we were taking four scrumhalves ," head coach Nienaber said. “But if you look at the versatility within that, that’s what we saw.” De Klerk has played flyhalf briefly at club level and his versatility to slip in there as backup to Damian Willemse against Romania means starting No. 10 Manie Libbok gets to put his feet up all weekend ahead of Ireland.
In last weekend's Rugby World Cup win over Scotland, Erasmus used a series of colored lights in the coaching box to seemingly send messages to players and coaching staff on the sidelines. In a game against New Zealand last month, South Africa went with an unprecedented seven forwards and just one back on the bench.
“We expect a very physical game in the pack and we don’t want to take any risks, so we have six forwards on the bench,” Romania coach Eugen Apjok said.
