Rugby: Meet your 2017 East Rand United squad

This week we take a look at this year’s first XV of the East Rand United rugby club.

The team will be, of course, under the tutelage of Stephen Nel.

The former Boksburg Rugby Club mentor took over from Derrick Sampson at the end of last campaign after the latter decided to step down.

Nel has preserved Fanie van Staden as the skipper of The Graveyard outfit, whose balance of size and height look healthy in the forward pack.

In the backs, seasoned fullback Clayton Gindan has returned from his short stint with the Brakpan Rugby Club where he and his teammates reached the semi-finals of the Gold Cup last season.

‘Mr Jet Shoes’ Cameron Lentoor has also returned to add to an impressive-looking XV for United.
