Jordan Hendrikse and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu will benefit from playing behind a Rugby World Cup-winning Springbok pack, writes Dylan Jack.

Jordan Hendrikse and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu will share the playmaking responsibilities against Wales at Twickenham.

That gave one the sense that Erasmus’ plan would be to blast Wales off the park with as strong and experienced a starting pack as possible, allowing a more experimental backline the chance to play around a bit with new attack coach Tony Brown’s tactics, ahead of the all-important Ireland series next month.

There was some ire that Masuku was not even on the bench and left in South Africa, with Libbok travelling as the third fly-half in the 30-man squad to London. To understand that call, you have to understand that the Springboks were always only going to take three fly-halves to London and Libbok’s value lies in his experience and his ability to mirror the opposition fly-half in training, a role he performed expertly during the world cup.

DHL Stormers breakthrough star Feinberg-Mngomezulu toured with the Boks in November 2022 and spent most of his time overseas training with the team, even though his game time came with the South Africa A side in the midweek match against Bristol Bears. Aside from their youth and their ability to play multiple positions, both players have another attribute that Erasmus and the Bok brains trust seem to placing a premium on: Physicality.
