South AfricaThe primary job of an openside flanker is to retain and regain possession. And, to tackle anything that moves!
James Venter has excelled in this role for the Cell C Sharks over the past few seasons.
A superlative scavenger of the ball, Venter is indeed a deadly tackler and lethal at the breakdown.
Unfortunately, injury woes have limited his game time for the Cell C Sharks, but Venter won’t let those setbacks deter him.
In addition, this Glenwood old boy’s leadership has also come to the fore, with him having skippered the Cell C Sharks in the Carling Currie Cup.
