AT the Springboks, Rassie Erasmus has always said that “form is everything and age ain't nothing but a number,’ and he could have coined it with Cobus Reinach in mind.

Ageless Reinach eyes 2027 World Cup

STORMERS scrumhalf Cobus Reinach insists age is no barrier as the 35-year-old scrumhalf keeps one eye on the 2027 World Cup, buoyed by a standout Springbok year.

The 35-year-old scrumhalf said on Monday in a Stormers press conference that he has one eye on the 2027 World Cup in Australia, and there is no reason to doubt that he can get there. It is almost crazy to suggest that 2025 was a Springbok breakout year of sorts for the veteran, but the statistics suggest it was.

Until this year, the vast majority of his 50 caps for the Boks were from the bench, but in 2025, he started in seven of his 11 appearances and scored five tries.
