The Springboks are set to announce their team on Friday evening. Here is how the team is likely to look.
Usually, the Boks name their team mid-week with a Tuesday or Wednesday announcement becoming the norm during the group stages of Rugby World Cup 2023.
This is knockout rugby, the quarter-finals and a titanic showdown against one of the pre-tournament favourite, hosts France. We expect Steven Kitshoff, Bongi Mbonambi and Frans Malherbe to front up in the front-row. Therefore, they will play a key role in asserting some crucial scrum dominance for the Boks. Furthermore, they will be joined up by Bok enforcer Eben Etzebeth and Franco Mostert.
