Visa drama could see Nkosi miss test
He is still in South Africa, and it is doubtful that he will manage to join his Bok team-mates overseas before tomorrow, at the earliest.
He was instructed by SA Rugby in June to get his passport in order, but, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, among other things, the 25-year-old player did not manage to get everything done. Nkosi’s visa problems have posed unexpected challenges for Jacques Nienaber and Rassie Erasmus, who have already held a training camp in Paris with a group of about 20 players and participated in World Cup activities with a view to heading to the 2023 tournament in France.About 12 other overseas-based players who are still playing club rugby join the Boks today.
Apart from the uncertainty about his availability and Faf de Klerk’s injury, notmany changes are expected this week from the Boks’ 23-man squad who played against the All Blacks.
