Loose forward Buthelezi will lead the Junior Boks at the 2019 World U-20 Championships in Argentina next month.
“The tournament involves a fair bit of time away from home and it is demanding on the players both physically and mentally‚ so it will be good to have leaders who can prepare their teammates for this in advance.
“Francke also led the team with distinction in the role of both captain and vice-captain during our warm-up matches‚ and we are equally confident in his abilities as a leader.” Roux’s team will wrap up their preparations at their base in Stellenbosch in the next three weeks‚ with the team departing for Argentina on Wednesday‚ May 29.
The Junior Springboks will be based in Rosario for the duration of the U-20 Championship where they will meet Scotland in their opening match on Tuesday‚ June 4‚ before taking on Georgia and New Zealand in their remaining pool matches.Junior Springbok squad for the World Rugby U-20 Championship :Caleb Dingaan David Kriel James Mollentze Sibusiso Sangweni
