Look at who impressed in the Springboks’ first four Tests of the year and should be considered for Rassie Erasmus’ Rugby Championship squad.
Rassie Erasmus is set to announce his squad for the Springboks’ two-Test Rugby Championship tour of Australia on Tuesday. With that in mind, let’s look at whichIf there’s one man who grabbed his opportunity in Springbok colours with both hands, it’s BJ Dixon. Of all the young forwards the Springboks employed throughout the Tests against Wales, Ireland and Portugal, Dixon stood head and shoulders above the rest as the most consistent performer.
Somehow, South Africa keeps on churning out world class front rowers, resulting in an oversupply. Unfortunately for Thomas du Toit, that luxury the Springboks boast has impacted him more than most, as he often missed out on selection. But his form for Bath in the Premiership earned him a Springbok call up recently and he made the most of his opportunity. Thomas ‘The Tank’ started in the historic clash against Portugal, starred in his role on the tighthead side of the scrum.
