World Cup winners back for Springboks against All Blacks

Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus on Tuesday announced a 37-man squad for the matches in Johannesburg on August 31 and Cape Town on September 7. Prop Steven Kitshoff, utility back Canan Moodie and scrumhalf Jaden Hendrikse have recovered from injury, while No 8 Jasper Wiese has completed a six-match suspension after he was given a red card while playing for Leicester Tigers in May. All four were part of the Springbok squad that won the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France, with Kitshoff and Wiese playing in the final against the All Blacks.
