Springboks: What next for Pollard, Kriel, Mbonambi?

At the moment, there is no stopping the Springboks after they’ve racked up over 100 points over the last two games, with the team’s vibrant attack looking better than ever.

A large part of this fluency and rhythm has been empowered by a bold backline selection that has seen the likes of Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, Canan Moodie, and Ethan Hooker add an injection of real youthful enthusiasm to proceedings.

Backed up by a powerful forward pack, there have also been breakthrough seasons for the likes of Wilco Louw, Jan-Hendrik Wessels, Boan Venter, Marnus van der Merwe and Wilco Louw, who have also formed part of an exciting ‘next gen’ talent pool.

Such performances will undoubtedly have a knock-on effect, as we have already seen several Springbok stalwarts beginning to fall by the wayside as competition for places becomes more and more competitive.
