There are in essence, two types of back row players: Mere back rows and the robust, solid and fearless one from Impala Saracens. For what he lacks in height, compensates in drive. Injuries incurred on the rugby pitch only make him stronger, and with every dip in fitness, he rises up to rule again. With every pick up, each boot planted on the ground, every drive into contact, Joel Omer leaves a mark. He is not selfish, as described by his 53rd minute pass to Samson Onsomu for a try. His humility on the field of play leaves many fans surprised at just how composure an open side flanker can muster.
