Reinach, though, became a key member of both the 2019 and 2023 conquests and he believes there is still more to come.As a two-time Rugby World Cup winner, it seems a universe away when Cobus Reinach couldn’t crack the Springbok squad. In 2017, the Springboks did not allow players not playing domestically to represent South Africa unless they had already gained 30 caps, which effectively ruled the scrumhalf out. That was until Director of Rugby Rassie Erasmus in 2019 saw to it that the rule was scrapped.
