Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber has invited 17 players to attend the first week of their preparation camp for the Incoming Series kicking off on Monday in Pretoria, featuring two uncapped players.
Two additional injured players, Montpellier scrumhalf Cobus Reinach and Vodacom Bulls flyhalf Johan Goosen, will also join the camp where they will undergo rehabilitation with an eye on possible selection later in the season and the 2023 Rugby World Cup.While Grant Williams is a familiar face in national set-up having after been a member of the Rugby Championship squad and the team’s UK tour late last year, Ntuthuko Mchunu will experience his first taste of national action on the field.
Nienaber was excited about the group of players invited to the preparation camp with an eye of getting down to business with just under four weeks to go before their opening Test against Wales at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria. “We also know what Grant can do, he showed his class at our training sessions last season, and he knows our structures and systems well, while Ntuthuko has really improved a lot over the last year, and we are excited to work with him after showing what he can do for the Cell C Sharks this season.”
