DHL Stormers centre Wandisile Simelane gives his insight on footballers who could make up the perfect backline, as well as teammates he would take to a music festival.
You were snubbed last week when Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu picked his dream five-a-side team, how did you take that?
Yeah, unfortunately Sacha has no idea that I would take that entire five-a-side team on my own, but that’s a story for another day.
Which footballers do you think would have made good rugby players and why?
I don’t think many footballers would make it in the forward pack, but here is my backline: 9 Luka Modric, 10 Lionel Messi 11 Mo Salah 12 Virgil van Dijk 13 Kevin de Bruyne 14 Cristiano Ronaldo 15 Marcus Rashford.

You are on tour at the moment, which is your favourite city you have visited and why?
The best city I have ever been to on a rugby tour has to be Singapore. In the last couple of seasons of Super Rugby we played the Sunwolves there. It is humid, but the city is amazing and very safe and welcoming.
You are also into your music, which of your teammates would you invite to a hip-hop festival with you?
Probably Sacha, even though he didn’t pick me for his five-a-side team. Will Markwick, our head of athletic development has some swagger, then there are some gangster rap guys like Hacjivah Dayimani on the list then probably Ben Loader as well.
