South African rugby has a promising talent on the rise, with Jordan Hendrikse determined to take his career to new heights. In recent news, Hendrikse has announced that he is leaving the Lions, a move that could benefit both the Sharks and the Springboks.
The Sharks have predominantly used Curwin Bosch as their No. 10, but Hendrikse’s versatility means he could be an ideal fit for the position. While the Sharks have competent alternatives, neither Boeta Chamberlain nor Lionel Cronje are remarkable enough to catch the eye of Springbok head coach Jacques Nienaber. Hendrikse’s move to the Sharks will give him the chance to play alongside Grant Williams, a strong contender for the Springbok No. 9 jersey.
Adding Hendrikse to their roster could be a game-changer for the Sharks. As a classical flyhalf in the traditional mold, Hendrikse has the skill to expertly steer a formidable backline, supported by a dynamic pack of forwards. However, his inconsistent Lions teammates have held him back from contending for the Springbok No. 10 jersey.
To reach his full potential, Hendrikse needs to be part of one of the top three teams, and the Sharks present the perfect opportunity. Coming from the city where he honed his skills, Hendrikse is poised to make a significant impact with the coastal franchise and strengthen the Springboks’ depth in a crucial position.
Adept at both goal-kicking and game-running, Jordan Hendrikse is set to leave a lasting mark on South African rugby. His anticipated move to the Sharks is a significant step forward for his ambition to play at the highest level. The South African rugby community and the Springboks should keep a close eye on this promising talent’s journey.
