The once-capped Springbok scored two tries in last weekend's win over the Vodacom Bulls, having helped create three in the previous round against the Emirates Lions."He's a quality player, dynamic, fast, very powerful," said Farrell, who starts at outside centre for Connacht."I think I might have played against him a couple of years ago when he was with Sale Sharks.
