Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus has included two uncapped players who ply their trade abroad in a group of 21 to take part in a virtual alignment camp ahead of the international season.
Prop forward Carlu Sadie and lock JJ van der Mescht will join a number of seasoned Boks in the camp on Tuesday. Both Sadie Bordeaux Begles and Van der Mescht Northampton Saints played for the Junior Springboks.
Scrumhalf Herschel Jantjies, who won a World Cup winners medal in 2019 but last played for the Boks in 2023, is back in the mix with an invitation to the gathering, while centre Lukhanyo Am, whose last Test was in 2024, has also cracked the nod.
