The Bok boss said that he was very excited with the new players in the Bok system ahead of the Tests against Ireland and Portugal.
“We earmarked Jan-Hendrik Wessels from our Elite Player Development system from U-15 level, when he was playing prop then,” explained Erasmus.“We don’t have control over where the franchises select the players, but with him being able to play hooker and prop it offers us additional options among the forwards.”
“We are at a stage where we are trying to expose players to the Springbok environment as much as possible. We had four new capped players against Wales, and we have four debutants in this squad – Phepsi Buthelezi, Jan-Hendrik Wessels, Johan Grobbelaar and Morne van den Berg.
