'Very athletic': Why Rassie picked Norton
The Citizen
|June 26, 2026
Riley Norton (right) was named in the Springbok Nations Championship squad ahead of JJ van der Mescht because the strengths he offers are what the team needs right now, and because he understands the Springbok system, said coach Rassie Erasmus.
The regular SA U-20 captain, Norton will miss the start of South Africa’s World Rugby U-20 Championship title defence after impressing in the Springboks’ non-Test against the Barbarians and earning selection for the inaugural Nations Championship.
He is one of two players in the 46-man squad younger than 22.
Twenty-seven-year-old Van der Mescht, meanwhile, had barely been on the fringes of Bok selection since a stellar U20 Championship in 2019, where he scored three tries in five games as No 4 lock.
He played for the Sharks and Stade Francais before moving to Northampton Saints last season.
