As expected, Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus has made several key changes to his side to face Italy in Turin on Saturday.
With fierce competition for a starting spot on the wing, Springbok speedster Edwill van der Merwe says he's keeping himself ready for whenever the call comes - as Rassie Erasmus finalises his team for Saturday's Test against Italy in Turin.
The Springboks' post-match reactions after their incredible victory over France tell the story as vividly as anything that had unfolded over the 80 minutes in Paris.
Springboks head coach Rassie Erasmus revealed Siya Kolisi had no complaints when he was subbed off for Ruan Nortje after Lood de Jager was shown a red card.
SA Rugby President Mark Alexander has congratulated both Siya Kolisi and Rassie Erasmus as the duo will bring up significant milestones when the Springboks take on France on Saturday.
While Springbok captain Siya Kolisi is reaching a personal achievement of 100 caps on Saturday, the team still comes first, says coach Rassie Erasmus.
