Cobus Reinach Reaches 50 Appearances with the Springboks
South Africa scrum-half Cobus Reinach is about to celebrate his fiftieth match with the Springboks. This will happen in the match against Wales in Cardiff this Saturday. The team presents several changes compared to the one that played the previous weekend. The Boks coach, Rassie Erasmus, made nine changes compared to the team that beat Ireland in Dublin. This is largely because the match is played outside the international calendar, forcing players to return to their clubs. Despite the changes, the current world champions do not have a substitute team. Players like Siya Kolisi, Damian de Allende, and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu will be in the starting eleven.Cobus is a true team player and has been a standout player for us this season and over the years, so we are delighted to see him achieve this milestone.

Erasmus anticipates a difficult challenge from Wales, even though they have also lost several players due to commitments with their clubs. The coach commented that both teams are in a similar situation regarding player availability. He highlighted that Wales has a balanced team, with some experienced players and several young players who will seek to prove their worth. Erasmus expects Wales to come out with everything and give their all on the field. In addition, he highlighted that this is the last match of the year for both teams, so there is no doubt that they will give their all to end the season on a high note and try to improve their world ranking before the World Cup draw.Springboks Lineup: Damian Willemse, Ethan Hooker, Damian de Allende, Andre Esterhuizen, Canan Moodie, Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, Morne van den Berg, Jasper Wiese, Franco Mostert, Siya Kolisi, Ruan Nortje, Jean Kleyn, Wilco Louw, Johan Grobbelaar, Gerhard SteenekampSubstitutes: Bongi Mbonambi, Zachary Porthen, Asenathi Ntlabakanye, Eben Etzebeth, Marco van Staden, Ben-Jason Dixon, Kwagga Smith, Cobus ReinachHe patiently waited for his opportunities and seized each one with both hands, so seeing him achieve this at 35 makes it an even more remarkable feat.
