Springbok team for one-off match against Wallabies: Rassie has plenty of options
The Bok boss is spoiled for choice for the Test match in Perth next Sunday.
The Springboks are preparing for their one-off Test against the Wallabies in Perth next Sunday, with coach Rassie Erasmus considering a different selection to the one used in their recent series against the All Blacks. Several players who featured in the four Tests against New Zealand, such as Jesse Kriel, Damian de Allende, Pieter-Steph du Toit, and Ruan Nortje, are unlikely to start in Perth.
Erasmus may want to freshen up his squad due to players needing to return to their United Rugby Championship franchises and the upcoming Nations Championship fixtures in Europe. However, players like Jan-Hendrik Wessels, Zachary Porthen, Paul de Villiers, and Marco van Staden could still feature against Australia. The Boks have a range of options, from those who played full games to those who didn't, with injury status of players such as Franco Mostert and Grant Williams also uncertain. Erasmus is expected to announce his selection early next week.
