As the Springboks prepare to head on their end of year tour, Rassie Erasmus will have a few crucial decisions to make.
The Springboks are now just a few weeks away from returning to action, with three more Tests in store for Rassie Erasmus and his world champions to negotiate this season.
Libbok defied his critics with a stunning performance in the final Rugby Championship game, having been set free from the burden of goal-kicking. It did enable the Springbok coaches to fulfil their goal of expanding their squad depth, but a number of top players will now be available once again. Erasmus will probably also have his eye on a couple of other ‘newcomers’, but fitting everyone into a squad of around 35 players will be no easy task.Interestingly, Erasmus has already said the Springboks might slightly alter their ambitions to play more expansively due to the fact that conditions in the northern hemisphere are likely to be unfavourable during their winter months.
“We’re a team who can pull it back and even though it may be hard to go back to the exciting brand, I think we’re getting there.” It’s no secret that Springboks’ kicking has been their biggest enemy lately. We revealed their accuracy from the last six years.
