Springbok coach Erasmus now has to select his best XV for Rugby Championship opener.
Now that we know who coach Rassie Erasmus has picked for the Rugby Championship Tests against the Wallabies in Australia next month, the next question is: Who will make up the matchday-23, and especially the starting XV.
No less than 12 World Cup winners from 2019 and 2023 are not part of the 33-man squad named by Erasmus yesterday, including Faf de Klerk, Franco Mostert, Jasper Wiese, Trevor Nyakane, Steven Kitshoff, Canan Moodie and Damian Willemse, for various reasons.
This has opened the door for several newcomers to the Bok squad this season to possibly get their chance in the Tests in Brisbane and Perth on 10 and 17 August respectively.
