Always the plan to give a number of fringe players a run in the one-off Test against Portugal.
The Springboks are aiming to give a number of fringe players a run in their one-off Test against Portugal in Bloemfontein this Saturday as they look to the future and continue to build squad depth, according to assistant coach Deon Davids.
Davids was fronting up to the media at a Bok press conference yesterday afternoon and explained that with a long season ahead and the Rugby Championship and end-of-year-tour still to come, the Boks needed to manage their players.
However, he said that winning the game against Portugal was also extremely important and that was the balance they had to strike when selecting the side for Saturday's match.
