Veteran utility forward Deon Fourie was recalled to the Springbok camp on Sunday.
Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus has called up veteran utility forward Deon Fourie for the forthcoming Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series, following his return from a lengthy spell on the sidelines due to injury.
The 39-year-old Fourie, who doubles up as a loose forward and hooker, will join up with the squad in Johannesburg on Tuesday morning.
His last Test for the Springboks was the 2023 Rugby World Cup Final against New Zealand at the Stade de France in Paris, and he made a welcome return to top-class rugby in the Stormers’ clash in their RGR opener against the All Blacks on Friday night.
The Rugby World Cup-winner will add invaluable experience to Erasmus’ quality list of forwards for the historic series, which kicks off at Ellis Park in Johannesburg on Saturday, 22 August.
