Check out the Springboks Rassie Erasmus has included in his squad for the autumn tests

TAGS:

South Africa coach Rassie Erasmus named a 34-player squad for their Autumn Nations Series and it sees four World Cup winners welcomed back to the team.

Damian Willemse, Andre Esterhuizen, RG Snyman and Franco Mostert all miss out on the Rugby Championship because of injury. All four players have now recovered and will play a part in the autumn internationals.

The Springboks are still without some players due to injury. Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, Salmaan Moerat, Steven Kitshoff and Lood de Jager are all unavailable.

Erasmus said: “It’s great to have RG, Franco, Andre, and Damian back in the mix after recovering from their injuries, and we are excited to see what impact they have on the field, especially after their disappointment of missing out on the Rugby Championship.

“Damian, Andre and RG all returned to action in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship and have made a strong statement with their performances, and we all know what a work horse Franco is and the quality that he adds to the team, so there’s no doubt they’ll want to make their presence felt against quality opposition in Scotland, England and Wales, who are all ranked within the top 11 sides in the world.”
