Dyanti Aphiwe, Nkosi, Makazole Mapimpi, Tambwe Madosha are 4 of the best wingers in SA. They all thrive in space.
Dyanti looks a Bok certainty at this stage, with the rest being candidates for the next squad. Mapimpi and Madosha are hard to tackle once they get space and speed.
Dynati and Nkosi certainly have the physicality, and could perhaps also cover outside centre. Need to see more on their kicking games and the high ball, so unlikely fullback options at this stage.
Nkosi is not getting much possession at the Sharks. AM needs to replicate some of his early initial form.
Madosha is like a ghost in his running style. Similar to Skosan, but even more elusive. Perhaps an excellent impact player when the game opens up. Not sure they will be physical enough in defence.

Chavanga was once the fastest man in rugby, so a class of new athletic black wings is not unexpected. But we are still waiting for a complete player....who combines, attack, defence, competence under the high ball and rugby nous.
Closest thing were the Ndunganis who unfortunately were not quite fast enough to really be a factor against the top teams.
Of the current crop I doubt that Skosan, Ulengo, Mahuza or Mapimpi is that player. That leaves 3 players to watch:
Nkosi who is physical, fast and smart for such a young player.
Dyantyi....smart, fast and elusive.
And Ismaeil ....physical fast and a solid defender.
But until one of these chaps shows the rugby instincts that Williams, Habana and JP did over the years, they remain questionable. Perhaps they are not getting rugby exposure early enough.
