Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber has named a 34-man squad for the Australian leg of the Rugby Championship.

Nienaber said the touring squad was in line with the standard travelling squad for a Rugby World Cup. The coach says he believes that the selected squad was the right group of players to achieve what his team sets out to do in the two tests against Australian Wallabies.

The squad combines a young line-up with the experienced players. The uncapped Canan Moodie earned a call-up for his first tour in a settled national squad. Moodie has been selected as a utility back cover following the suspension handed to wing Kurt-Lee Arendse for a dangerous tackle.

“We are also excited to see how Canan slots in during the next few weeks and to see how he adapts to our structures and systems, and we believe he has the skills to slot in for Kurt-Lee and Cheslin,” says Nienaber.
