Skinstad heaps praise on Bulls flyer Tambwe: 'Madosh is big, strong and fast'

Former Springbok captain Bob Skinstad has heaped praise on Bulls wing Madosh Tambwe, who has been a star performer for the men from Pretoria of late.

Skinstad was speaking after the latest round of local United Rugby Championship (URC) matches in which the Bulls beat the Lions 21-13 at Loftus Versfeld and the Stormers upset the Sharks 20-10 at Cape Town Stadium.

Tambwe was named Player of the Match in the Bulls' win and Skinstad took note of his efforts.

"The United Rugby Championship and social media are coming together perfectly," Skinstad told the official SA Ruby website.

"As a young player, if you put in a great performance or a Player of the Match performance on the weekend, you can be certain people are looking and will be talking about you on Monday. And the right people will be noticing.

"He (Tambwe) was the standout player for me in that game. He did start by giving away a penalty, but then he just powered through the rest of that match. Madosh is big, strong and fast. He's finishing well and making big tackles, and isn’t making too many huge defensive errors."

Stormers best-placed of SA contingent

Skinstad added that he was particularly pleased to see the Stormers, the team where he first made a name for himself, perform well.

"From a personal point of view, it’s nice for me to see the Stormers leading the way for the South African teams," added Skinstad.

"Their 20-10 victory over the Sharks was a bit of an arm-wrestle, but that happens when two teams know each other so well. But what was pleasing for me, and I think it will be the same for John Dobson, is that the Stormers have until now scored 58% of their points in the first half, and in this match it was great to see them shift that around and be dominant in the
