Herman Lintvelt

Date of birth: 6/9/1976

Position: Loose forward

Test caps: 16

Test Debut: Côte d'Ivorie, 1998

Test Points: 15

Current Club: Windhoek United

Strengths: One of the few players in Namibia's squad who has seen it all before, having played in the 1999 and 2003 showpieces. A solid tackler who is strong at the breakdown, Lintveld is also tall enough to compete in the line-outs.

Weaknesses: A big lad who is no longer a spring chicken, the flanker will struggle to beat his opposite numbers to the ball when the Biltongboere come up against France, Ireland and Argentina. Lintvelt is also known to give away needless penalties as well.
