Cape Town - The South African Rugby Union on Wednesday announced a large group of players to participate in the Junior Springbok trials camp early next month in Stellenbosch. The trials will kick-start the process to select the Junior Springbok squad of 28 players for the upcoming World Rugby Under-20 Championship in Italy in June.
The best local Under-20 players will assemble on Sunday, March 30 at the Stellenbosch Academy of Sport (SAS) and will remain in camp until April 2. This will be followed by a break for the Easter holidays. The camp will feature two trial matches on Tuesday, March 31 and Thursday, April 2 respectively at the Paul Roos Markottër Stadium.
Players such as Thomas du Toit, Dan du Preez (both, Sharks), RG Snyman and Warrick Gelant (both, Blue Bulls) who are currently busy with Super Rugby commitments, were excluded from the trials squad. Duhan van der Merwe (Blue Bulls) and Rikus Bothma (Western Province) are currently injured and were not considered.
