Ruan Nortje has wasted little time in getting stuck into the new gameplan after returning to the Springboks’ setup for the first time since 2022.
Nortje is the only new player in the Rugby Championship squad, meaning this is the first time he is working with the coaching team led by Erasmus, and which includes Tony Brown and Jerry Flannery . “I played with quite a few of the guys in 2022 and being able to play and train with them again is an absolute honour and privilege.
“It will take time to familiarise myself with the new way of doing things, but the coaches and players have been very helpful and have taken me under their wing, so I’m certain it will be an easy transition back into the squad.
