Rassie Erasmus can’t wait to unleash a rejigged Springbok team with Pieter-Steph du Toit leading the charge for their 2024 opener against Wales in London on Saturday.
Flyhalf Jordan Hendrikse and winger Edwill van der Merwe will make starting debuts for the Du Toit-captained Boks at Twickenham.
“This is an exciting playing squad and travelling group, and we are looking forward to seeing how the uncapped players step up at top international level and how we execute what we’ve been working on at training in the last few days and at the alignment camps,” said Erasmus. Erasmus was confident that the remaining members of the travelling squad would benefit immensely from being exposed to the Test environment and to experience first-hand what is required of them during a Test week, and he had no doubt it would also bode well for the team as the Boks prepare for the 2024 season with a long-term view on the 2027 World Cup in Australia.
