Rassie Erasmus named 10 uncapped players in a "purpose and goal-driven” 40-man squad for the Springboks' second alignment camp in Cape Town next...

Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus has included several exciting young players in a 40-man group for his second alignment camp of the season.

Two players have been invited to their first Springbok alignment camp as Rassie Erasmus unveiled a 40-man squad.

The Boks are now just over 30 days away from getting their season going, with a match against the Barbarians in Gqeberha.

The Springbok coach’s alignment camp squad hints at youth, but injury casualties and results may force some changes.
