Trio boost Baby Boks

Cape Town - Blue Bulls centre Rohan Janse van Rensburg has joined the SA Under-20 squad as cover ahead of their friendly international against Namibia in Stellenbosch on Saturday.

The squad, hit by injuries to several key players, was also bolstered by the addition of two Springbok Sevens players, Seabelo Senatla and Justin Geduld, who arrived on Tuesday evening after helping South Africa to clinch the Glasgow Sevens the past weekend.

Janse van Rensburg represented the SA Schools and the Blue Bulls’ Under-18 Craven Week team last year.

Sergeal Petersen, Jan Serfontein and Handré Pollard are all injured and will not be considered for the match against Namibia at the Paul Roos Markötter Stadium, while Dries Swanepoel (wing) is battling with a hand injury.

SA Under-20 coach, Dawie Theron, will name his match line-up at noon on Wednesday.

No! I think the smart thing to do is start again with a younger skipper ...

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
