This will happen in the match against Wales in Cardiff this Saturday.\n\nThe 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 calendar, forcing players to return to their clubs.\n\nDespite the changes, the current world champions do not present a completely new team, as players like Siya Kolisi, Damian de Allende and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu will be part of the starting team.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>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.<\/p><cite>Rassie Erasmus<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nErasmus also added:\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>He has 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 achievement.<\/p><cite>Rassie Erasmus<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nErasmus anticipates a difficult challenge from Wales, even though they have also lost several players due to commitments with their clubs.\n\nThe coach commented:\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Both teams are in a similar situation regarding player availability, but they have a balanced team with some experienced players and several youngsters who will be eager to stand out.<\/p><cite>Rassie Erasmus<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nIn addition, he added that they expect an aggressive Welsh team and that they will give it their all. He also stressed that this is the last match of the year for both teams, so they will not hesitate to give it their all to end the season on a high and try to improve their world ranking before the Rugby World Cup draw next week.\n\n<b>Springboks&#8217; Lineup:<\/b> Damian Willemse, Ethan Hooker, Damian de Allende, Andre, 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.\n\n<b>Substitutes:<\/b> Bongi Mbonambi, Zachary Porthen, Asenathi Ntlabakanye, Eben Etzebeth, Marco van Staden, Ben-Jason Dixon, Kwagga Smith, Cobus Reinach.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cobus Reinach Reaches 50 Appearances for the Springboks South Africa scrum-half Cobus Reinach is about to reach his fiftieth appearance for the Springboks.
