NINE SPRINGBOKS SENT BACK TO CLUBS AFTER NZ SHOWDOWN

NINE Springboks ill be sent back home to their respective clubs in South Africa and Europe after Fridays blockbuster showdown with NZ at Twickenham.

Therefore, they will not join the Springboks in France unless any player is injured against NZ on Friday evening. This is bad news for Handre Pollard and Lukhanyo AM fans. Lets take a look at the NINE players who be sent bac to their clubs.

Gerhard Steenekamp, Joseph Dweba, Thomas du Toit, Lood de Jager, Jean-Luc du Preez, Evan Roos, Herschel Jantjies, Handre Pollard and Lukhanyo AM will all return to their respective clubs.

“After this weekend’s game, if there are no injuries, they’ll leave the squad. I’m not even sure if Lukhanyo is truly in the selection frame anyway. He hasn’t even trained with us. He’s still in the process of returning to training,” Nienaber

Steenekamp and Jantjies dreams are likely over. This is because even if a prop is injured they have du Toit as cover whilst their are four scrumhalves in the squad in Faf de Klerk, Jaden Hendrikse, Grant Williams and Cobus Reinach.

Therefore, even an injury here will likely see Pollard called up instead.
