Rassie Erasmus is shaking up the Springboks roster, beginning what looks to be a significant shift in team dynamics by letting go of some of the veterans who helped bring home two Rugby World Cup titles. According to reports, Erasmus has already sidelined three World Cup-winning players—Faf de Klerk, Trevor Nyakane, and Jean Kleyn—and hints suggest more experienced names might be next.
South Africa’s unprecedented back-to-back World Cup victories in 2019 and 2023 were built on a core squad of players, but with an eye toward a historic three-peat in 2027, Erasmus knows the squad needs fresh energy.
