Rassie Erasmus has called up one of the 2023 Varsity Cup stars to attend a Springbok alignment camp.
No stranger to the unconventional, Rassie Erasmus has called up one of the 2023 Varsity Cup stars to attend the Springboks’ second alignment camp.The 25-year-old burly tighthead prop last year led the Eagles to their first Varsity Cup title since 2016 and emerged as the tournament’s strongest scrummager.captain Ruan ‘Sampie’ Swiegers gets the Eagles off the mark early on! The rolling maul has been a staple of their season so far.
The Test is scheduled on the same day as the Vodacom URC final and the Springboks are consequently planning to be without Bulls and Stormers, both playoff contenders. Players based in Europe, the UK and Ireland will also not be considered, as the game falls outside the official Test window. The Springboks are likely to miss all of Wilco Louw, Neethling Fouché, Frans Malherbe and Trevor Nyakane for the Test at Twickenham, and Erasmus appears to be making the most of the opportunity to cast his net wider.This content is not behind a paywall and it is Habari Media's commitment that it remains so and access to the content is free.
