The Springboks’ November tour of Europe includes midweek matches which are sure to be used to give fringe players an opportunity to perform – who are you picking to start at No 10?
HAVE YOUR SAY BELOW!
As part of the Springboks’ end-of-year tour to Europe, the SA Select XV will play midweek games against Bristol Bears and Munster.
This will give some players who are on the fringes of Springbok selection a chance to prove themselves worthy of a regular place in the Test squad.
Flyhalf is a position of concern for the Boks, especially as incumbent Handre Pollard picked up a knock in his debut for Leicester Tigers, while Elton Jantjies’ future with the team remains unconfirmed.
Thankfully, there have been a number of playmakers knocking on the door with excellent performances for their respective clubs.
This includes Manie Libbok at the DHL Stormers, Chris Smith and Johan Goosen at the Vodacom Bulls, the Emirates Lions’ Gianni Lombard and Jordan Hendrikse as well as Sale Sharks’ Robert du Preez.
If you could select ??? of these flyhalves to run out for the SA Select XV in November, who would you choose? ? pic.twitter.com/qp0o6GHR21
