Akona Ndungane

Date of birth: 20/2/1981

Position: Wing

Test caps: 9

Test Debut: Australia, 2006

Test points: 5

Current Club: Bulls

Strengths: Ndungane is perfectly suited to the Bok style of play and is never shy of the physical stuff. Here we have a true fighting, try-scoring machine. Amazingly consistent in all his games for South Africa.

Weaknesses: The dreadlocked player lacks sheer pace as a winger. Ndungane's defence - though improving every match - still needs some work, as too does his vision for the game.

Likely headline: 'Ndungane tackled short of the line by prop'

Did you know?: Akona has an identical twin brother, Odwa, who plays for the Sharks.
