Hear from Rassie Erasmus as he explains his Springbok team selection for Saturday’s clash against Italy and how his six uncapped players fit into the bigger picture.
Springbok head coach Rassie Erasmus has explained his squad selection for Saturday's Nations Championship Test against Italy in Turin. Erasmus has opted for an experienced match 23 rather than fielding uncapped players immediately, indicating he wants youngster Riley Norton to watch the team perform and learn from the experience.
Erasmus aims to integrate Norton alongside uncapped players Manu Tshituka and Luan Giliomee later in the tour. In the meantime, the coaching staff expects them to observe training closely as the world champions pursue an unbeaten run in the tournament.
