Springbok training camps announced

Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer has announced three planning camps during the next six weeks as part of his preparations for the upcoming Test series against England in June.

The camps take place on the various franchises’ bye weekends:

16 to 19 April (Joburg) Lions and Cheetahs players
23 to 26 April (Pretoria) Bulls and Sharks players
01 to 03 May (Cape Town) Stormers players

Meyer said: “I’m planning to look quite wide at most of the eligible players from our five Super Rugby squads when I invite players to attend our sessions – including currently injured players. The more players that are aware of how we’d like to play this year, the better for the Springboks’ preparations for a very tough season”

Players invited to the first Springbok Planning Camp

Forwards: Coenie Oosthuizen, Caylib Oosthuizen, Pat Cilliers, CJ van der Linde, WP Nel, Adriaan Strauss, Bandise Maku, Callie Visagie, Izak van der Westhuizen, Davon Raubenheimer, Franco van der Merwe, Heinrich Brüssow, Derick Minnie, Pieter Labuschagne, Ashley Johnson, Juan Smith, Josh Strauss, Philip van der Walt.

Backs: Piet van Zyl, Michael Bondesio, Johan Goosen, Elton Jantjies, Butch James, Willie le Roux, Andries Strauss, Doppies La Grange, Robert Ebersohn, Alwyn Hollenbach, Lionel Mapoe, Jaco Taute, Hennie Daniller.
