Springbok coach, Rassie Erasmus has indicated that veteran hooker, Schalk Brits could be making a return to Test rugby at Newlands on Saturday.
South Africa took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series against England, following another come-from-behind victory in Bloemfontein, running off 23-12 victors.
Having been hauled out of retirement by Erasmus, who called him up to the squad in the lead-up to the second Test, Brits was not included in the matchday 23 but may find himself returning to action at what used to be his hunting ground back in his Stormers days, Newlands.

The strongest indication yet of the direction the Springboks are headed under new coach, Rassie Erasmus is set to come to light this coming Saturday, as he will name his first squad since taking over the reins in March. The former Bok loose forward’s first assignment is a once-off Test against Wales in Washington, before his charges return home for a three-match series against England. With just a matter of days before the Boks take the field for the first time this year, Erasmus already has a few headaches, and will most likely have to pick a new captain, as both Warren Whiteley – who skippered the national side in 2016 – and last season’s leader, Eben Etzebeth are both out injured. Stormers captain, Siya Kolisi could be the man handed the armband, while Bulls flyhalf, Handre Pollard could also be entrusted with leading the side.

Just cl Springbok coach, Rassie Erasmus will have to go into his first Test at the helm with a XV comprising of only players based in South Africa. Erasmus’ men open the 2018 season with a historic once-off Test against Wales, played in Washington DC on 2 June – a date which happens to fall just outside World Rugby’s international window – meaning European clubs risk a fine if they release their players for national duty in this period. Welsh coach, Warren Gatland has also been dealt a similar blow, as he was forced to leave out his England-based contingent, as he named a squad devoid of the likes of experienced Bath lock, Luke Chateris, and Wocester Warriors wing, Josh Adams.

Ollie believes Jake has good intentions, but he would be following a “racist policy”. Former Springbok coach, Jake White has caused a bit a stir in rugby circle’s by suggesting that incumbent, Rassie Erasmus put out a predominantly black team in his first Test in charge, and this did not go down well with former prop, Ollie Le Roux. The Boks take on Wales in a once-off Test in Washington DC on Saturday, 2 June, with a three-match series against England beginning a week later – and White feels this makes for a perfect opportunity for Erasmus to make some headway towards achieving some transformation targets. Looking for a cosy place to stay nearby for the Springbok Rugby matches then In true South African rugby fashion‚ by gaining clarity on one issue‚ another became muddied in the wake of Allister Coetzee’s sacking as Springbok coach on Friday. Coetzee and SA Rugby negotiated a settlement‚ the details of which remain private‚ to end Coetzee’s 22-month association with the team. But after months of dragging out Coetzee’s inevitable sacking after his Springboks won only 11 of 25 Tests (44%) in 2016 and 2017‚ SA Rugby were deliberately vague on the identity of his successor. Unofficially TimesLIVE has been informed that director of rugby Rassie Erasmus would take up the position as head of a coaching group‚ which includes SA Rugby employees such as defence coach specialist Jacques Nienaber. But in a statement SA Rugby didn’t go as far as naming Erasmus as Coetzee’s successor‚ rather opaquely indicating that he would be the coach even if he isn’t ‘called Springbok coach’. “The Rugby Department will manage the Those waiting on SA Rugby to announce the decision regarding embattled Springbok coach Allister Coetzee’s future will have to wait until next year before there is any word on that. In a media release on Friday, SA Rugby said that they would not be in a position to respond to questions on the matter until the New Year. “A number of meetings and reviews are in progress on all national teams, after which plans for all teams in 2018 will be confirmed,” SA Rugby said. Coetzee managed just seven wins, beating France (four times), Argentina (2) and Italy, in the Boks’ 13 Tests in 2017, also suffering heavy defeats to New Zealand and Ireland, going down 57-0 and 38-3 respectively.
