The Springboks beat the All Blacks 12-11 in the final in France late last month, giving South Africa a fourth Webb Ells Cup triumph in eight attempts. Etzebeth, Franco Mostert and Bongi Mbonabi will be 36 in 2027, while the Munster duo of Jean Kleyn and RG Snyman will both also be in their thirties.“Eben is so athletic, but I don’t know if he still has a World Cup in him,” said Erasmus.Welcome Virgin Atlantic!
