The match against Ireland in Dublin this coming weekend is a great chance for the Boks to Test themselves against a side that should be one of the challengers for the World Cup next year, while they will also be meeting them in the group stage of the tournament. England at Twickenham is then always a massive occasion for the players and with the England and French based Bok players unavailable for the game, it means that a few fringe players will be getting a run in a big game in front of a partisan home support which will be a great experience.
The Boks however have to blood a back-up and with Manie Libbok having been selected, it is imperative to give him a run, and the match against Italy will be perfect for him to get a taste of international rugby., and Elrigh Louw injured, Evan Roos has been given a chance to get a run in the Bok side, and hopefully he will be given a chance for the final two games.
