Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus is expected to name a familiar team to face Ireland, but there is one big selection call to make.

As the Springboks prepare for this Saturday’s first Test against Ireland, the players will already have been informed of who has been selected in the matchday squad.There is also a big call to be made at No 8, but Evan Roos is surely set for the biggest test of his young career as he remains the only real specialist eighthman available for selection.but it’s certainly not so cut and dried when it comes to making a call at fullback, particularly in the absence of injured Damian Willemse.

With Ireland expected to bring a prolific aerial game, it may make sense for Fassi to receive another opportunity while Le Roux offers insurance on the bench. *Who do you think should start at fullback on Saturday. Let us know by leaving a comment at the end of this article “I believe we are in the right frame of mind for the challenge ahead against the world’s No 2 ranked team,” Erasmus commented.
