Double world champions RG Snyman and Duane Vermeulen emphasise the immense impact and responsibility of those players selected to feature off the Springbok bench.

In a short clip from Chasing the Sun 2, the official documentary of South Africa’s 2023 World Cup triumph, they explained what it meant to be a part of the Bomb Squad that helped the Boks win back-to-back World Cups.

“We take that role very seriously,” Snyman said. “It’s actually if a guy gets selected in the starting lineup off the bench, we say, ‘I’m sorry man, maybe next game you will be back in the Bomb Squad’.”

“They don’t call it the Bomb Squad for nothing,” Vermeulen added.
