Another advantage for Tambwe might be the currently injury situation pertaining to current Springbok squad member and World Cup winner Sbu Nkosi. Nkosi, who has been heavily linked with a move to the Bulls himself, has had a stop-start couple of seasons at the Sharks due to injuries, and his inconsistent form could then pave the way for Tambwe to replace him in the next squad announced by Nienaber. 

DRC-born Tambwe was raised in South Africa

Born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Tambwe was raised in South Africa, where he was schooled at Parktown Boy’s High School in Johannesburg. Tambwe played first team there before going up the ranks at the Lions. It would then be no surprise if he had ambitions of playing for the Springboks like any other kid growing up with the oval in the country. It looks like it was no different for the powerfully-built winger, who revealed he would be excited to be in the squad.
