Lions utility forward Ruan Venter is hoping to make a major impact for the Highveld side in their final few games of the URC season.
The Boks will also play against Portugal in July and those games offer a great opportunity for a number of exciting up and coming youngsters.
“To prove that you are good enough to maybe get a chance against Wales or Portugal. That would be an amazing experience and is a real driving force for many of us. “The camp had a lot of meetings and it was great to just listen to them on how they think and how they are approaching this season as a group.
“Now I was sitting in the same room as them and that was an amazing experience. I learnt a lot and I am still learning a lot and I am very excited about what is to come.”
