Johann Muller

Date of birth: 6/1/1980

Position: Lock

Test caps: 17

Test Debut: Scotland, 2006

Test points: 0

Current Club: Natal Sharks

Strengths: Muller has the right leadership skills, passion and confidence to mix it with any team in the world. His line-out abilities may not match that of Matfield or Botha, but he isn't too far behind. Always the first person to arrive for support and likes the physical stuff. Not afraid to speak his mind either.

Weaknesses: Takes some time to settle into his game. This often counts against him as he will most likely be used off the bench with the Matfield/Botha duo in the starting line-up. Again, not afraid to speak his mind which - depending on the ref - could count against him and his team.
