Springboks roster for Australian Championship named

Jacques Ninaber (team coach) named the line-up for the upcoming Australian Rugby Championship. At the moment it includes 34 players – representatives of the away team. The coach believes that in the current form, the athletes will be able to give a worthy rebuff to the enemy, which has already been demonstrated in Sydney and Adelaide.

At the same time, Jacques Ninaber believes that changes will be needed to continue participating in the Rugby World Cup. He intends to test his allegations against Argentina when the performances in Buenos Aires and Durban take place. This will allow us to accurately adjust the squad for the upcoming games in France next year.

Such a large squad, according to the team leader, allows you to work most effectively at the upcoming Australian stage. At these games, many athletes will be able to prove themselves and this will allow the squad to develop comprehensively. Meanwhile, there will be the second squad more prepared for the World Championship. Such a division should simplify and make more accurate the control over training and give more experience to all members of the team.

The most vulnerable link is Moody, who got into the squad after the removal of Kurt-Lee Arendse. He will act as a protector. His task also includes compensation for the absence of Cheslin Kolbe, who is rehabilitated after a broken jaw. The athlete himself will only be able to perform at the last game against Argentina. For four weeks, a leg injury disabled Bonga Mbonambi. Fury will duplicate Marx and Dwebe.

After a short break, the team will go on a tour of Argentina and Australia. According to Ninaber, the defeats in New Zealand gave invaluable experience and all the changes introduced should be beneficial. The current line-up of the team is strong and has every chance to play for the title!
