Coetzee announce squad for Springbok training camp

Coetzee announce squad for Springbok training camp

Having received the backing of the Executive Council of SA Rugby, Allister Coetzee named a 41-man list for his first training camp of the year.

The likes of Handré Pollard, Siya Kolisi, Frans Malherbe and Jaco Kriel are all included having returned from injuries.

Seabelo Senatla, the current World Rugby Sevens Player of the Year, has also been included in the training camp, that will take place in Johannesburg.

The camp takes place from Sunday 5 to Tuesday 7 March and is the first of three preparations camps the Springboks will undertake as part of their plans before the start of the international season in June, when South Africa host France in a three-match series.

Also, included in the squad are five promising players who are earmarked for possible future Springbok involvement. They are Ox Nche (prop, Toyota Cheetahs), Joseph Dweba (hooker, Toyota Cheetahs), Hanro Liebenberg (No 8, Vodacom Bulls), Warrick Gelant (fullback, Vodacom Bulls) and Wilco Louw (prop, DHL Stormers).
