The Springboks are set to bring in some fresh faces for Saturday's semi-final, which could see the return of Lukhanyo Am and Canan Moodie.
the Springboks are expecting an epic encounter against England in Saturday’s Rugby World Cup semi-final at the Stade de France in Paris. Kick off is at 21:00.Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber will announce his matchday squad for the clash on Thursday morning at 09h00 , and Erasmus gave some clear hints about the fact that they were giving real consideration to bringing in some new players to keep everyone fresh.
“Every player in our squad is fit so we have all 33 players to select from. We would also like to see what they do. If they go for a six-two split, then we’ll have to make some plans. Erasmus poured cold water over the idea that the Springboks are the favourites, saying England would have all the motivation they needed this weekend, considering their 32-12 defeat in the 2019 RWC final in Japan, and defeat in the last match between the two sides at Twickenham in 2022, where the Springboks emerged 27-13 victors.
