Former Springboks coach, Jake White feels the upcoming once-off Test against Wales is the perfect opportunity for the side’s new mentor, Rassie Erasmus to signal a commitment to transformation.
The Boks take on the Dragons in a historical match, that will be played at Washington DC on 2 June, a week before they are set to take on world number two, England, in a three-match series.
The Test falls outside World Rugby’s official international window, which could pose problems for Erasmus if he’s looking to strengthen his squad with overseas-based players, and White feels he can work around this by selecting a predominantly black team – also getting a head start towards the 50% quota that will be calculated across the season.
