The Springboks will continue to rotate their squad regularly this year as they build their depth heading towards the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia, including in their massive Rugbys Greatest Rivalry series against the All Blacks.
Big squads and constant rotation has become a hallmark of Rassie Erasmus Boks over the past two years, which has turned them into the strongest squad with the biggest depth in world rugby, and they can field two completely different teams of equal strength at any time.
This year will likely be Erasmus last chance to give the fringe players decent game time, as next year Erasmus will need to cut down to a settled squad that will be backed regularly in the build-up to the World Cup in October and November.
