In the absence of Tokelo Rantie, the Strasbourg hitman has been identified as the man to torment the Super Eagles at the FNB Stadium on Saturday
COMMENT
When Stuart Baxter announced his Bafana Bafana squad for the upcoming 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Nigeria, the Super Eagles will surely be delighted that Tokelo Rantie was absent from the 23.
During the Afcon qualifying campaign for the 2015 edition, the new Cape Town City man scored three goals in two appearances against the 2013 champions.
On 19 November 2014, Rantie tore away from the helpless Raheem Lawal and also powerfully shoulder-charged him to the ground as he made his way past Efe Ambrose, sprinted past Azubuike Egwuekwe, before firing - at the near post - high into Vincent Enyeama’s net to silence the Uyo crowd.
