Re: 2024 Springbokke

Sasha Feinberg-Mngomezulu seems the most likely candidate at this stage. But he really needs to be starting a lot more games at 10, and the Stormers have too much depth in the backline. He may need to consider a tactical move to another team in order to get this. It will also be interesting to see ...
