Several top Springboks players are playing in their last Rugby World Cup for South Africa. Here is the FULL LIST, a prestigious list indeed.
LIST OF SPRINGBOKS LEAVING SA AND RETURNING AFTER THE RUGBY WORLD CUPThese players will be over 35 at the next Rugby World Cup. It is an anomaly for players to play international rugby after 35/36.
At the next World Cup, Koch will be 37, Mbonambi , Malherbe , Mostert , Nyakane , Reinach , Mapimpi and Le Roux . Therefore, all of these players are unlikely to feature in the USA in 2027.In fact, Vermeulen is likely to retire after the Rugby World Cup with the other players on the list entering the latter stages of their Bok careers.This is a prestigious list indeed with only Deon Fourie not having tasted Rugby World Cup victory.
Hopefully, this changes with the Boks successfully defending their title in France. If they achieve this feat, it will be a fitting farewell for Vermeulen and the all aforementioned players who have contributed so much to SA Rugby.WAG life: Layla Kolbe visits Rachel Kolisi to help her with laundry
