🏉🤞🌍 The United Rugby Championship quarterfinals taking place this weekend will serve as the final opportunity for Springbok players to showcase their skills and secure a spot in the squad for the upcoming World Cup in France. Full story here ⬇

Both Roos and Libbok made their Bok debuts last year and got a shot to shine on the end of year tour, but with Roos being stunted by injury this year so far and Libbok having a cold boot over the past few games, they will need to step it up in the quarterfinal to get back on the radar. Uncapped Grobelaar is an outside call, but with Stormers hooker Joseph Dweba still struggling with throwing issues, the Boks may still be keen on a different third choice, although they could also go with Deon Fourie in that position, as they did on the end of year tour.Other players looking to put in a big performance in the quarterfinals include scrumhalf Grant Williams, lock RG Snyman and eighthman Duane Vermeulen.
