Springbok Steyn focused and ready to terrorise Euro giants

AFTER terrorising the British & Irish Lions, as well as the southern hemisphere teams with his right boot, Springbok fly-half Morné Steyn hopes he can cause equal damage on a Europe tour that begins against France in Toulouse tomorrow night.

As the Lions, Australia, New Zealand, a host of Super 14 teams and some in the Currie Cup will testify, any infringement within 55 metres of goal can have deadly consequences.

An international unknown at the beginning of this year, the 25-year-old Cape Town-born and Bloemfontein-schooled player with looks that would not be out of place on a movie set has taken rugby by storm.
