Rassie Erasmus explains his team selection for Portugal | Springboks Team Announcement Presser

Injuries: Mostert, PSDT and Edwill Van Der Merwe out for 6 weeks. Moodie back next week. Marx out for a while. Kolbe out for a couple weeks

Rassie looks very tired

Old bunch must make way for new younger Springboks who have desire to play. Current bunch of Springboks have nothing to prove anymore

Thanks for the coverage guys this is wonderful.

Picking Jan Hendrik Wessels ahead of Wilco Louw must be a long term decision.

Holly just blew the Canada vs Romania in Ottawa ! She is good and knows her rugby ! Respect her boys she has earned it !

Senior Piele 😂

Not sure what the obsession with Jan Hendrik Wessels is, I don't see anything special but then again I guess Rassie would know way more than me 🤷

Moerat? Come on man. Enough with the politics. Pick on merit and form. Enough with the political BS in selection. Plenty of locks that are better. The same goes for a few other selections.

Rassie is brilliant

I do feel though that the older bunch is making way too much money especially with sponsors ect, where they get to a a point to feeling 'I don't need to give my best', making way for the younger bunch is also strategic for 2027.

i know rassie is pissed by the stupid amatuerish last 2 minutes against a lucky ireland, they blew a series win

They blindsided your game with the semicircular block to your up and under game. They neutralised your traditional advantage. All the teams starting to use that defence.

Chokers!!!

I am glad that thee other players had a chance to play

Will he pick ten Portugal team too? 😂😂

Is Rassie OK?

The Emperor has no clothes.

Never has a Springbok team been so transparent & inclusive of the supporters & media.
🔥🇿🇦 Thanks Rassie 👍

Senior Piele hahahahaha

Oh shucks that's Phepsi. I heard he was good but I honestly thought that was a backline player....

A good attitude seeming astute young man Phepsi.
