Reinach, Bosch named in extended Bok training group

Reinach, Bosch named in extended Bok training group

Experienced prop Beast Mtawarira, scrumhalf Cobus Reinach and utility back Curwin Bosch are part of Sharks players included in the extended Springbok squad for their second training camp, from 2 to 4 April in Stellenbosch.

The Durban-based players were not considered for the first training camp, held last month in Johannesburg, because of overseas travel commitments at the start of the Super Rugby competition.

The second of three training camps – which are part of the Springboks’ preparation plans for the forthcoming international season – will take place at the Stellenbosch Academy of Sport. South Africa will host France in a three-match Incoming Series in June, before the Rugby Championship gets underway in August.

The Springbok selectors invited a group of 13 Sharks players, 10 each from the Lions and Stormers as well as eight Cheetahs players to the three-day camp.

Lock Franco Mostert is not available for this camp as his wife is due to give birth to their first child.


Injured Springboks Pat Lambie, Uzair Cassiem and Ruan Combrinck have been invited to the camp, but injured players such as Damian de Allende and Jean-Luc du Plessis (both Stormers), who made the trip to the previous camp in Johannesburg, are not required to do so again.
