Benhard Janse van Rensburg's enthusiasm and energy have won over his new England team-mates, says George Ford.
Janse van Rensburg, 29, was born in South Africa and appeared for the Springboks under-20 side, but, after a Rugby Football Union appeal to World Rugby over his eligibility, will qualify to play Test rugby for England in July after five years in the country.
He has been named on the bench for England's non-cap fixture against a France XV in Vannes on Friday.
"He's been brilliant, he's like an excitable kid," said Ford, who will captain England in the match.
"He's got so much energy and you can tell he's just obsessed with playing rugby.
