Cobus Reinach Reaches 50 Appearances for the Springboks
South Africa scrum-half Cobus Reinach is on the verge of reaching his fiftieth appearance for the Springboks. This will occur in the match against Wales in Cardiff this Saturday, as part of a team with several changes from 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 window, forcing players to return to their clubs. Despite this, the current world champions do not present a completely alternative team, as figures like Siya Kolisi, Damian de Allende, and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu are in the starting lineup.Cobus is a true team player and has been an outstanding player for us this season and over the years, so we are delighted to see him achieve this milestone.

Erasmus anticipates a considerable challenge from Wales, despite the fact that they have also lost several players due to commitments with their clubs. Erasmus commented that 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 seek to prove their worth. The coach added that they expect Wales to come out with everything and give it their all. Furthermore, this is the last match of the year for both teams, so there is no doubt that they will give it their all to finish the season on a high and try to improve their world ranking, with the World Cup draw to be held next week.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 has patiently waited for his opportunities and made the most of each one, so seeing him achieve this at 35 makes it an even more remarkable feat.
