Cobus Reinach Reaches 50 Appearances for the Springboks
South Africa scrum-half Cobus Reinach is about to reach his fiftieth appearance for the Springboks. This will happen in the match against Wales in Cardiff on Saturday. The team presents important changes compared to last week’s match. The Boks coach, Rassie Erasmus, has made nine changes to the team that beat Ireland in Dublin. This is largely because the match is played outside the international window and the players must return to their clubs. Despite these changes, the world champions do not have a team of substitutes. Players like Siya Kolisi, Damian de Allende, and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu are part of the starting team. 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 also commented on Reinach’s achievement, highlighting his dedication and perseverance.Erasmus expects a difficult challenge from Wales, even though they have also lost several players due to commitments with their clubs. According to the coach, both teams are in a similar situation regarding player availability. However, Wales has a balanced team, with experienced players and young players who will seek to make their mark. The match is the last of the year for both teams, so it is expected that both will give their best to end the season on a high note.Springboks: 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.
