Previewing the Springboks’ Rugby Championship Lineup
The anticipation surrounding the captain selection for the Springboks’ Rugby Championship opener against Australia has reached its peak. Reports suggest that the search for a new skipper has been narrowed down to two players: Lukhanyo Am and Duane Vermeulen. Both players are seen as strong contenders, and the final decision is expected to be announced by coach Jacques Nienaber in the coming week.
Lukhanyo Am, a potential future Springbok captain, already has experience leading the South African team. During the 2021 British & Irish Lions series, he captained the South Africa ‘A’ squad, showcasing his leadership abilities. On the other hand, Duane Vermeulen’s anticipated role in the World Cup adds to his appeal as a captain. He is expected to play a key part in the tournament and could be called upon to relieve Siya Kolisi during the France-based competition.
Another choice made by the Springboks ahead of the Rugby Championship is the selection of a back row consisting of Bulls opensider Marco van Staden, Pieter-Steph du Toit, and Vermeulen. This decision reveals the team’s strategy for the upcoming matches.
The Springboks squad features an impressive array of talent, with players hailing from various clubs and countries.
With such a strong lineup, the Springboks are expected to be a force to be reckoned with in the Rugby Championship. The selection of a captain, be it Am or Vermeulen, will undoubtedly play a crucial role in the team’s performance and leadership on the field. As fans eagerly await the announcement, one thing is certain: the Springboks are gearing up for a fierce competition.
