There is now just over a month to go until the Springboks' first Test of the year. Here we select what the backline could look like.

It will also be played two weeks before the Springboks’ blockbuster two-Test battle against Ireland, but it’s clear that a second-string side will need to make the trip to Twickenham as the London game falls outside the official Test window.

In our latest selection, we reckon Fassi has done enough at the Sharks in recent weeks to warrant a recall to the No 15 jersey, where he could start for the first time at Test level. His previous three Springbok appearances have all come on the left wing. Meanwhile, Hartzenberg boasts such talent, and he has enjoyed a stellar season for the Stormers. Like many young backs, it would make sense to see his transition into Test rugby begin with an appearance on the wing.
