Rassie faces a big headache
The Citizen
|September 16, 2025
While Rassie Erasmus was quick to point out he has a squad of 40-odd players and they all serve a purpose and have a role to play, he will be wondering about his best-23 ahead of the next two matches in this year's Rugby Championship, against Argentina in Durban and London respectively.
Erasmus would no doubt have spent a good deal of time over the last few days mulling over his young stars who helped the Boks record a 43-10 win against the All Blacks in Wellington on Saturday.
And if he was uncertain before the Test about who his best players are building towards the 2027 World Cup, he must be more confused than ever.
And these selection posers are now already a big talking point ahead of next Saturday's Test against Argentina in Durban.
