Profile Paragraph: Minnie played an integral part in the Lions in 2011, playing in 13 Super Rugby matches and all 14 Currie Cup matches. Minnie is a big flank, but he has the speed and ability to move around the field with relative ease, causing much difficulty for any opponent. Minnie is expected to have another big year in 2012, and should he continue the way he has been playing the in past three years, he should be considered for the Springboks in no time at all.
