DTH Van Der Merwe Performance Analysis
DTH Van Der Merwe Bio
Daniel van der Merwe is an elusive outside back, capable of causing real damage to opposition defences. He has played for
Glasgow in the Magners League since 2009, and in the 2010/11 season only Fionn Carr made more clean breaks than the Canadian flyer. DTH made his debut for
Canada in 2006 against
Barbados. He has scored over 10 tries for Canada. He appeared in all four of Canada's 2007 World Cup matches, and scored a try in the draw with
Japan.
