An exciting addition.

Springboks head coach Rassie Erasmus is considering a recall for Sharks outside back Aphelele Fassi.

RASSIE ERASMUS SPRINGS SURPRISES FOR THE SPRINGBOKS

Fullback Fassi has been in sparkling form for the Sharks individually in the United Rugby Championship despite the team’s struggles. SABC Sport reports that he’s made more clean breaks (18) and metres (967) than any other participant in the match. In addition, he has nine try involvements, with five assists and four scores. He was reportedly called up to the most recent Springboks alignment camp because to his performance.

According to the South African tabloid Rapport, Fassi was among the players invited to the virtual camp, which raises the possibility that he will play at Twickenham against Wales. Players from the area will predominate the camp because stars from the Premiership and Top 14 won’t be available. Phepsi Buthelezi, a star player for the Sharks, will also be at the second camp as a backup number eight. All three of Evan Roos, Cameron Hanekom, and Elrigh Louw will miss the Wales match if the Bulls and Stormers compete in the URC championship. With the Welsh, Jasper Wiese will not participate in any way..

FASSI COMES FULL CIRCLE FOR THE SPRINGBOKS

In 2021, Aphelele Fassi won his maiden cap for the Springboks against Georgia and his second against Argentina. Wearing the green and gold again would be a complete circle event, as he hasn’t done it since 2022 against Wales. The 26-year-old Fassi would compete with Damian Willemse and Willie Le Roux while providing depth at fullback.
