Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus has several big selection calls to make ahead of the first Test of two against Ireland.
The Boks take on Ireland in the first of two Tests at Loftus Versfeld this Saturday.Will it be Handre Pollard or Manie Libbok in the Springbok No 10 jersey when the world champions take on Ireland in the first of two Tests in Pretoria this Saturday?These are the two big selection choices facing coach Rassie Erasmus ahead of the highly anticipated series.
Injuries and a few niggles to a number of key players could prevent Erasmus from picking his strongest matchday-23, but he is likely to still select a formidable side, full of World Cup winners. A number of players who shone in London against Wales, such as Aphelele Fassi, Edwill van der Merwe and In midfield, Erasmus is likely to go with Jesse Kriel and Damian de Allende, with Lukhanyo Am missing out, while up front, Kwagga Smith or Evan Roose will join Pieter-Steph du Toit and captain Siya Kolisi in the loose-trio.
