The Springboks will need to box clever over the coming season with their squad rotation, due to their need to get game time into players ahead of next years World Cup, while they also have a large number of injuries who will be returning over their international campaign.
They kick things off this coming weekend in Gqeberha with a double header , as the Boks take on the Barbarians and the SA A team fronts up against Zimbabwe, in what should be two entertaining encounters.
During a Bok press briefing last week, coach Rassie Erasmus explained that integrating those injured players back into the group would be the biggest challenge for the team management, and getting game time for the more inexperienced players.
