After being named Player of the Match in four of his last five matches, Masuku has received an invitation to the Springboks’ next alignment camp, according to three sources who spoke toWith his impressive performances, a Springbok debut for Masuku on 22 June against Wales at Twickenham is not a far-fetched idea.Springboks who play for clubs in England, France, and Ireland are also unavailable because the test falls outside the international test window.

The fly-half’s contract, which was scheduled to end on 30 June, 2025, has been extended by the Sharks due to his outstanding performances. “Siya is a quiet and peaceful person. You see it in his game: He always seems in control, you never feel like he’s under pressure,” Thomas said.Masuku has great appreciation for Melusi Mthethwa, the Shimlas’ assistant coach, who he considers a mentor and someone he can talk to about his game. Mthethwa gave Masuku a chance with the Leopards and later moved back into the Cheetahs.
