This Springboks fan-favourites playing days are numbered. Ultimately, he has probably represented the Boks for the last time.
This Springboks star is no doubt a fan-favourite. However, recent events make for grim reading.There is no doubt that the depth of SA Rugby is at an all-time high. However, this does mean some tough decisions need to be made to veteran players. This Bok veteran may have played for the Boks for the last time already.Springboks veteran, Trevor Nyakane is unlikely to feature much – if at all in the future for the Boks.
Meaning, he has fallen well down the pecking order. Additionally, the likes of Ox Nche, Kitshoff and Malherbe , Thomas Du Toit, Gerhard Steenakamp, Jan-Hendrik Wessels and Wilco Louw are all ahead in the current selection order. Firstly, young Wessels offers versatility as one of the few players in world rugby capable of playing prop and hooker. He earned a surprise call-up to the national side when the Springboks travelled to Australia and he will no doubt have a big future ahead of him.
