🏉 No one saw that coming and it is a massive blow... No HandrePollard or LukhanyoAm for the Springboks at this year’s WorldCup 🏆 RWC2023 Read more on TheCitizenSport ⬇️
In Am’s place, Jesse Kriel should step forward to fill the No 13 jersey , but Nienaber and Co could just as easily shift Damian de Allende to 13 with Andre Esterhuizen playing 12, or could we even see Willemse at 12, with either De Allende or Esterhuizen at 13?
It is a little surprising Nienaber and Co have opted for just two specialist hookers, with Deon Fourie the back-up. The veteran Fourie has played hooker before, but in recent years has only played at flank. Twenty of the 33 players featured at the 2019 World Cup so there is plenty of experience in the squad, but there’s also exciting young talent, among them wingers Canan Moodie and Kurt-Lee Arendse. Who will end up in the No 11 and 14 jerseys?
