The Springboks continue to cast their selection net far and wide as they consider all options ahead of the 2024 Test season.
The Springboks are set to start the Test season against Wales in June, and there is no doubt that a largely experimental side is set to be selected.
When coach Rassie Erasmus recently addressed the media at a press conference in Cape Town, he already acknowledged that the Springboks would be “I would rather win the World Cup than sit at 80%. It’s better than not winning the World Cup at all and sitting at 80 to 85%. We would love to get that win percentage up, but we have to be brave and take chances with youngsters.”As Erasmus considers all his options, this has led to a notable call to largely unheralded prop Sampie Swiegers, who has earned an invitation to the latest Springboks alignment camp.
