The sports media outlet Alofoke Deportes reports on the upcoming participation of South African scrum-half Cobus Reinach, who is about to reach his fiftieth appearance with the Springboks. This milestone will be celebrated in the match against Wales in Cardiff on Saturday. The Boks coach, Rassie Erasmus, has made nine changes to the team that beat Ireland in Dublin. This modification is largely due to the fact that the match is played outside the international calendar, which forces players to return to their clubs. Despite the changes, the world champion team presents a stellar lineup, with figures like Siya Kolisi, Damian de Allende, and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu in the starting eleven.
Erasmus also highlighted Reinach’s patience and his ability to seize opportunities. The coach expects a formidable challenge from Wales, despite the fact that they have also lost key players due to commitments with their clubs.Cobus is a true team man and has been a standout player for us this season and throughout the years, so we are delighted to see him achieve this milestone.

The motivation to end the season with a victory and improve their world ranking is high, especially with the World Cup draw coming up next week.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 Steenekamp.Substitutes: Bongi Mbonambi, Zachary Porthen, Asenathi Ntlabakanye, Eben Etzebeth, Marco van Staden, Ben-Jason Dixon, Kwagga Smith, Cobus Reinach.Both teams are in a similar situation regarding player availability, but Wales has a balanced team with some experienced players and several young players who will be looking to stand out.
