A total of seven Springboks are linked with big moves both IN and OUT of South Africa.
Being a Springboks rugby player certainly has it’s perks. Following back-to-back Rugby World Cup victories, Bok stars are now even more sought-after than ever before.
So, Let’s take a look at the capped Springboks linked with big moves to new clubs both in and out of SA.
SPRINGBOKS RETURNING HOME
Handre Pollard, Cobus Reinach and Marvin Orie are all set to return home.
Back to South Africa.
The Rugby World Cup winning Springboks trio are all involved with massive deals with local United Rugby Championship outfits. Namely, the Bulls and Stormers.
Pollard has signed a huge deal that will see him return to the Bulls next season. Meanwhile, Reinach has signed a deal with John Dobson’s Stormers. He will start playing for the Cape-based side at the start of the 2025/26 season. Finally, Orie is set to join the Bulls next season.
Meanwhile, Edwill Van Der Merwe has signed for the Sharks ahead of next season.
CAPPED NATIONAL PLAYERS HEADING OUT OF SA
Manie Libbok, Joseph Dweba and Herschel Jantjies are all set to leave the Stormers and SA at the end of the season.
“Scrumhalves Herschel Jantjies and Paul de Wet are heading to Bayonne in France and the Bulls respectively, while hooker Joseph Dweba departs for English Premiership side Exeter Chiefs,” the insider stated on The Citizen.
Meaning, three capped Boks are set to start new ventures abroad. Libbok has been linked with a sabbatical and a potential loan move to Japan. Meanwhile, both Dweba and Jantjies are going to ply their trade abroad next season.
“Springbok flyhalf Manie Libbok, with Director of Rugby John Dobson confirming after the Glasgow loss that he was on his way out with the others, but with no confirmation on what sort of deal,” he added.
However, Libbok will likely be loaned out and come back to the Stormers.
