	Rugby union: Leicester put their faith in the powers of Van der Westhuyzen \| Rugby union \| Guardian Unlimited Sport
		Van der Westhuyzen, who is likely to face another South African exile in Percy Montgomery tomorrow, admitted that the exchange rate of more than 11 rand to £1, plus the need to provide for a young family, were primary reasons for his decision to move.
		Van der Westhuyzen agreed that he had been one of the luckier players in a Springbok squad that was upset by the constant rotation of Straeuli.
		Van der Westhuyzen said that Heyneke Meyer, the coach of his Currie Cup team, the Blue Bulls, would be his preferred choice from the quartet of candidates named this week to replace Straeuli.

		Jaco was first capped for the Springboks in the 2000 Tri-Nations tournament against New Zealand as a replacement, but a knee injury after his first two tests curtailed his international career, however he was named man-of-the-match in his comeback game against Scotland.

	Meyer picks his discarded Boks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Cronjé, Wannenburg and Van der Westhuyzen were all three dropped from Rudolf Straeuli’s World Cup squad, announced last Saturday, after having produced stirling performances for the Boks at various stages this season.
		Van der Westhuyzen was widely thought to be a certainty in the Bok squad after strong performances against Scotland, but since the Bulls fullback injured himself in the second game against Scotland, he has not featured in Rudolf Straeuli’s plans.
		Van der Westhuyzen replaces the talented Johan Roets for the Bulls, with Roets moving down to the bench.

	Record Victory For Boks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Jaco put his backs on the front foot with some flat, fast passing, while du Preez - when he came on in the second half - convinced me that he is the finest passer of a rugby ball in world rugby.
		He took a quick throw in to Jaco van der Westhuyzen which resulted in a try, but what was significant was the distance of the pass - he hurled it from the sideline in a perfect, flattish arc to the flyhalf - who was in the middle of the field.
		When Jaco van der Westhuyzen took over the kicking he demonstrated precisely who the back-up kicker to Monty is, with an impressive 7/9 conversions - and he had all the shape and weight in the world.

	Business Day - News Worth Knowing
		Van der Merwe’s comments followed reports yesterday that White was scheduled to travel to Japan in two weeks to request permission from NEC for the player to participate in the competition from March.
		Van der Merwe said he would like to have the Bok flyhalf in his squad if agreement was reached.
		He said Van der Westhuyzen’s ability to play at No10 and fullback, in particular, would be invaluable to the squad, since depth in those positions was essential in a physically demanding competition.

	Guinness Premiership : Tigers officially lose Van der Westhuyzen
		Van der Westhuyzen, a two-time Currie Cup winner with the Blue Bulls, as well as being the current South African Super 12 Player of the Year, has become a firm favourite with Tigers supporters since his arrival - scoring five tries in his 11 first team outings to date.
		The 25-year-old Van der Westhuyzen, a late inclusion in SA's World Cup squad last year, starred at fullback for his country at the RWC, but he has been pressed into action at fly-half for the Tigers this season.
		Despite Van der Westhuyzen's exit from the club at the end of the current campaign, Wheeler insists that ties would not be broken between the two parties.

		The 25-year-old Van der Westhuyzen has played nine tests for his country since making his debut in 2000, but never have we seen in a green and gold jumper what the former Blue Bulls man has done since moving to Welford Road at the end of last year.
		The pace and power have always been hallmarks of Van der Westhuyzen's thrilling approach to rugby union, but his new-found confidence and self-belief are threatening to make him into a more consistent performer.

		Van der Westhuyzen's first season in the Far East was a resounding success.

	Star: Van der Westhuyzen poser for Bok coach
		It is believed the national coach will select a largely experimental outfit for the invitational game and, if Van der Westhuyzen continues to show the form he showed at fullback at Loftus on Saturday, White may be forced to make some difficult decisions this year.
		Van der Westhuyzen, in his first start in Super 14 rugby since 2003, produced a display of all-round rugby that made him the darling of Pretoria just three years ago when he ripped opposition defences to pieces with his attacking runs as a fullback.
		Van der Westhuyzen can rest assured, however, that his versatility will not be to his detriment - as the likes of Brent Russell have discovered.

		Van der Westhuyzen was a key figure for the Bulls in the Super 12, and was one of five to be nominated recently for the South African Super 12 Player of the Year Award, following the Bulls' sixth-place finish in the competition – the highest of any SA team in 2003.

	Guinness Premiership : Tigers star Jaco a roaring success
		On the technical aspects of his own game, Van der Westhuyzen's recent move to fly-half - which, for a brief period, gave Leicester a glimmer of hope in the Heineken Cup - has seen him assume the role of tactical kicker for the Tigers, adding yet another string to his bow.
		Of more concern to Van der Westhuyzen than choosing between two positions, however, is the state of rugby in his homeland - South Africa.
		Sadly for Van der Westhuyzen, his time at Welford Road cannot carry on forever, and he will be leaving England for Japan after the current domestic season - having signed a two-year deal with Japanese club NEC.
