Joubert, who has been compared to the great Danie Gerber, is a classic centre in many respects: he is very quick, with good hands, although quite big for this position. He has become a widely respected player and was one of the five finalists for the 2004 IRB Player of the Year Award. It is hoped that he will show his best form on Saturday 4 December in the Test against Argentina, where the harder field is more typical of South African playing conditions than those in the UK.
