Lood de Jager Bolsters South Africa to Face Argentina
The South African rugby team has called up Lood de Jager for the crucial match against Argentina in London, corresponding to the last day of the Rugby Championship. The inclusion of De Jager comes after the absence of Franco Mostert, who could not travel due to a family matter. De Jager, who missed the recent match against Los Pumas in Durban due to an injury, has recovered in time to join the team at Twickenham. Springboks head coach Rassie Erasmus expressed his support for Mostert and highlighted the importance of De Jager’s experience.The team arrived in London on Sunday night and resumed training. Erasmus commented that the players are in good physical condition and ready for the match. Erasmus also noted that the team will carefully manage the players’ time this week to ensure their best performance on Saturday. The coach added that the match is of great importance and that Argentina will seek to end their campaign with a victory. South Africa has the opportunity to win the championship for the second consecutive time, which adds motivation to the team. South Africa currently leads the ranking with one point ahead of the All Blacks, who have 14 points. The Wallabies are in third place with 11 points, while Argentina is in last position with nine points.We all feel deeply for Franco and wish him strength in this difficult moment. We will support him in every way we can. Fortunately, Lood has recovered from his injury and his experience and leadership will be valuable in such an important week for the team.
