Rassie’s Perth gamble comes with a loaded bench

Keo & Zels unpack Rassie Erasmus’s 13 Springbok changes, André Esterhuizen’s captaincy and the Bomb Squad threat against the Wallabies in Perth.

Erasmus is gambling in Perth. He has also loaded the Springbok bench with enough insurance to rescue the result if his starting selection goes pear-shaped against the Wallabies.

That was the verdict from the latest Keo & Zels Rugby Show after Erasmus made 13 changes to his starting XV for Sunday’s Test in Western Australia.

Nobody would have selected this particular starting team. Not Keo. Not Zels. Not the thousands who played selector on the show’s social platforms.
