Erasmus includes Junior Boks duo in Nations Championship squad
The Springbok squad features six uncapped players.
Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus has named two players recently included in the South African under-20 team in his 46-player squad for the inaugural Nations Championship, starting with a test match against England in Johannesburg on July 4.
The squad features six uncapped players and a host of returning Bulls players who were unavailable for Saturday’s Barbarian match in Gqeberha due to their United Rugby Championship commitments.
SA under-20 captain Riley Norton and fly-half Vusi Moyo were drafted into the senior squad after polished performances against the Baabaas.
They are now set to miss the World Rugby Under-20 Championship in Georgia starting next weekend.
Rassie Erasmus: “To score 80 points is nice…but we need to eliminate defensive lapses and be better as a unit when we play against England” – more here: https://t.co/kz1omOe9Mf
