    Posted: 18-Aug-2019 at 6:31pm

The Springbok training squad of 36 players assembled in Bloemfontein on Sunday for a four-day Rugby World Cup camp in Bloemfontein as part of the Boks’ preparations for the global tournament which starts next month in Japan.

 

The group consists of players who were part of the Springboks’ recent successful Castle Lager Rugby Championship campaign and the Farewell Test against Argentina in Pretoria.

 

The camp is designed to refocus the group on the Rugby World Cup campaign. The announcement of the 31-man squad takes place on Monday, 26 August, at 15h00 in Johannesburg.

 

Apart from a few team building exercises, the Springbok coaches and conditioning staff will put the training squad through some field sessions and a series of technical activities as the Boks continue to refine their plan for Japan.

 

Four players who were part of the match-23 that played against Argentina in Pretoria on Saturday, were released back to their provinces for Currie Cup duty.

 

The four are the DHL Western Province trio of Wilco Louw (prop), Scarra Ntubeni (hooker) and Dillyn Leyds (wing), as well as Vodacom Blue Bulls looseforward Marco van Staden.

 

Ulster looseforward Marcell Coetzee, who went off early against the Pumas with a head knock and ankle injury, did not travel to Bloemfontein.

 

The Springbok group will have a few closed practice sessions in the Free State capital before breaking camp on Thursday, after which the 31-man squad will then gather in Johannesburg for the official announcement of the RWC squad.

 


The 36-man Springbok squad who have assembled for the RWC camp in Bloemfontein are:

 

Forwards (21): Schalk Brits (Vodacom Bulls), Lood de Jager (Vodacom Bulls), Thomas du Toit (Cell C Sharks), Pieter-Steph du Toit (DHL Stormers), Rynhardt Elstadt (Toulouse, France), Eben Etzebeth (DHL Stormers), Lizo Gqoboka (Vodacom Bulls), Steven Kitshoff (DHL Stormers), Vincent Koch (Saracens, England), Siya Kolisi (DHL Stormers), Francois Louw (Bath, England), Frans Malherbe (DHL Stormers), Malcolm Marx (Emirates Lions), Bongi Mbonambi (DHL Stormers), Tendai Mtawarira (Cell C Sharks), Franco Mostert (Gloucester, England), Trevor Nyakane (Vodacom Bulls), Marvin Orie (Emirates Lions), Kwagga Smith (Emirates Lions), RG Snyman (Vodacom Bulls), Duane Vermeulen (Vodacom Bulls).

 

Backs (15): Lukhanyo Am (Cell C Sharks), Damian de Allende (DHL Stormers), Faf de Klerk (Sale Sharks, England), André Esterhuizen (Cell C Sharks), Warrick Gelant (Vodacom Bulls), Elton Jantjies (Emirates Lions), Herschel Jantjies (DHL Stormers), Cheslin Kolbe (Toulouse, France), Jesse Kriel (Vodacom Bulls), Makazole Mapimpi (Cell C Sharks), Sbu Nkosi (Cell C Sharks), Willie le Roux (Toyota Verblitz, Japan), Handré Pollard (Vodacom Bulls), Cobus Reinach (Northampton Saints, England), Frans Steyn (Montpellier, France).

Net 14 gekleurde spelers van die 36 so dit is 39% (38.8888).

So word al 14 behou in die 31, is dit 45.16% wat steeds onder die 50% mikpunt is. As Orie en Gelant gesny word, gaan dit net op 38.7% staan.

Weet nie of die ANC van hierdie getalle gaan hou nie....
Go LIONS!!!!!

https://www.sport24.co.za/Rugby/Springboks/rassie-passes-transformation-test-sa-rugby-president-20190816

SA Rugby president Mark Alexander has has given the assurance that there will no external pressure or interference when Rassie Erasmus selects his Springbok squad for the Rugby World Cup.

Speaking at an SA Rugby affiliated event in Pretoria on Thursday, Alexander said Erasmus has exceeded expectations regarding transformation.

"Rassie knows what to do, it is not necessary for us to remind him of transformation," Alexander said, as quoted by Netwerk24.

"He is mature enough to fulfil his mandates and so far he has exceeded our expectations. So no, there won’t be any pressure on him from the top."

Alexander added: "Our run-on XV will in most games have the desired number of black players. In fact, because our players come through naturally and based on merit, we are actually beyond that desired number."

No real surprises here. I think this squad will take us deep into the tournament. We have a relatively easy ride through to the play offs. The opener will be tough, but we must be careful of Italy and Canada. Italy have beaten us before, and Canada will be a tough game, as they are very physical.

No surprises indeed 

Our strongest 23 (In my view) will look like this.

1. Beast (Hitting form and has a wealth of experience, Kitsoff can help us finish strong)
2. Marx
3. Nyakane
4. Eben
5. Mostert
6. Kolisi
7. PSDT
8. Duane
9. Faf
10. Pollard
11. Kolbe
12. Steyn
13. Am
14. Nkosi
15. le Roux
16. Mbonambi
17. Kitshoff
18. Malherbe (Although he would never have been in my squad to begin with)
19. Snyman
20 Louw (I feel for Kwagga, I think he can come on and be lethal, but I think louw will crack the nod)
21. Jantjies
22. Jantjies 
23. DDA

I would love to see Elton on the bench and drop Kriel altogether. Rassie probably wont do it, but I thought the Pollard at 12 , Elton at 10 worked well last year.

there is no way that any team labeled "strongest" can include Kolisi
