Rassie's pool is astounding

The Springboks look set to end their season having fielded an incredible 52 players across 13 games, when they take on Wales in Cardiff on Saturday night.

Over the past weekend Wilco Louw became the 50th Bok player used over their international campaign, which started at Twickenham in June when they comfortably beat Wales 41-13 outside of the Test window.

Bok coach Rassie Erasmus has attempted to give every single player involved in his various squads over the season game time, showcasing the incredible depth of South African rugby at the moment.

Only the first squad named, for the Welsh Test outside of the window, featured some players who were not given game-time in the end.
