Springboks set to expand Greatest Rivalry squad as Deon Fourie puts hand up for All Blacks Tests
Rassie Erasmus is keeping the door open for more Springboks ahead of Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry, with veteran Deon Fourie making a compelling case for inclusion after an outstanding showing against the All Blacks.
The Springboks are set to expand their squad for the upcoming Rugby's Greatest Rivalry series, aiming to challenge the All Blacks in Johannesburg. Head coach Rassie Erasmus has confirmed his intention to add players to reach a maximum of 44, as the All Blacks will field 44 as well. With injuries yet to be determined, the Boks are not planning to cut any players currently in the squad.
Stormers veteran Deon Fourie has impressed with his performance against the All Blacks and has been included in the expanded squad as extra cover. His standout moments include crucial tackles at the breakdown and a try that kept the Cape side in contention. Erasmus and his coaching team will assess the fitness of Siya Kolisi, who suffered a hamstring injury, before finalizing the team for the first Test.
