Springboks Announce Squad for November Tour

Rassie Erasmus has announced a 34-man Springbok squad for their November tour of the UK, featuring notable returnees like Damian Willemse, RG Snyman, and Andre Esterhuizen, all of whom have recovered from injuries. The squad will face Scotland, England, and Wales, with the opening match set for November 10. Erasmus acknowledged the challenges in selecting the squad, especially with the absence of key players such as Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, Salmaan Moerat, Steven Kitshoff, and Lood de Jager, all sidelined due to injuries. Willemse, who missed the first ten Tests of the year, has made a strong comeback in the URC, impressing with his versatility and performance. Snyman's return is particularly vital as he adds depth to the lock position, especially with other starting locks unavailable. The Springboks will depart for their training camp in Jersey on October 27 before heading to Edinburgh for the first match.
