Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus has backed the young Bok guns to do the business at Twickenham agains the Pumas. It is not so much discarding the old guard but recognising the form of the Boks next generation, writes Mark Keohane.
It is also not putting out to pasture those who won the Castle Rugby Championship agains the Pumas in 2024.
To illustrate how Erasmus has evolved the squad in a Test season, without sacrificing results, he has named just eight from the starting XV who beat the Pumas to win the Castle Rugby Championship a year ago.
