Rassie's biggest Bok selection dilemmas
Cape Argus
|November 06, 2025
WITH head coach Rassie Erasmus set to name his Springbok lineup today, all eyes are on the selection dilemmas that will have tested the Bok brains trust ahead of Saturday's crunch November Test against France at the Stade de France in Paris (kickoff 10.10pm).
Injuries, form, and tactical balance have made this one of Erasmus's trickiest team sheets since returning to the hot seat.
The loss of Ox Nché has forced a rethink in the front row, while flyhalf, lock, and midfield combinations all carry intriguing questions of experience versus evolution.
Whichever way Erasmus leans, the selection will reveal plenty about how the Springboks plan to approach this Test — whether to grind it out the traditional way, or unleash a fresher, faster brand of rugby that signals a new chapter in Springbok dominance.
Flyhalf
This is arguably the biggest decision of the week. Does Erasmus stick with the reliability and game management of Handré Pollard, or lean into the attacking energy brought by Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu and Manie Libbok?
