Young Boks show future is bright

With it being such an important match, in terms of the competition and the growth of the team, coach Rassie Erasmus could have been tempted to play his most experienced and settled team, which would have included Willie le Roux and Handre Pollard.

However, he has shown that he fully believes in Fassi and Feinberg-Mngomezulu by backing them to start against the Boks" biggest rivals, with Le Roux missing out on selection and Pollard set to play off the bench.

Speaking about Fassi, Erasmus said that it was now time to show exactly what he is capable of and reach the level expected of him.
