During the latter half of the recent URC tournament, the Cell C Sharks’ pack regularly annihilated the opposition at scrum time.
To be sure, the Durban-based front eight have developed into arguably the most formidable scrummaging unit in the competition.
And, one of the keys to their efficiency at the set piece is Springbok loosehead Ox Nche.
Nche has also increased his test tally for South Africa to 14, having earned his Bok baptism of fire in South Africa’s ill-fated one-off test in 2018 against Wales at the RFK Stadium in Washington DC.
Since trading the Cheetahs for the Cell C Sharks two years ago, his powerhouse performances for the Durban-based franchise have been nothing short of a revelation.
