This is a crucial year for the Springboks, with a new management team, and it’s important for players to be happy on and off the field. We are hoping that the arbitration can take place during the second part of May and that we can have finality before the start of the test series against England.

Schalk Burger and Duane Vermeulen will provide the ultimate test of depth for the Stormers and Springboks
It was just a wrong read there in the midfield defence and nothing more than that. There is no doubt about John’s commitment. He is committed and did his job as always and his working between the Bulls and Springboks had no effect
It’s a huge opportunity to go on the tour ... It’s something I’m really excited about. To represent England is a huge honour and I would be very proud to go down there and play against the Springboks. The Sharks were my boyhood team and I loved playing for them.

As one of the biggest sporting brands in the world, we are thrilled to be adding England Rugby to our extensive portfolio which already includes Wales and the Springboks. The team’s huge fan base means that demand for England apparel is always high and we are confident of a strong performance at retail.
I've told the players that even if they're 29 and haven't yet played for the Springboks, that they still have a chance of being chosen.
In light of recent speculation linking me with a return to international rugby with the Springboks I would like to clarify my position
But it's very important that the players I choose are focused on the South African cause and want to play for the Springboks. If there's pressure from their overseas clubs, then I understand
They deserve to be called to the Springboks. Like players, coaches also have ambitions to be involved at the Springboks and I am very happy that they could realise their dreams. They deserve to be rewarded for their hard work.

We've had a good week of preparation on the High Veldt and recovered nicely from the flight over so there won't be any excuses there. This will be our toughest battle of the year. The Bulls are a strong team with Springboks right across the park. But we will be in this match to the end, it should be a f...
Klipdrift and Springbok rugby are both iconic brands that embody optimism, strong traditional heritage and above all are proudly South African. This combination makes Klipdrift very proud and excited to be welcoming the Springboks into the Distell family, a relationship that will only be nurtured with t...
I’ve been fortunate to have a long career playing at the top level and I’ll look back at my time with the Springboks with nothing but fondness.
Rassie is one of the most astute brains in world rugby and his appointment at SARU will ensure we have the best possible leadership at all our national teams. Our aim is to always produce winning teams and the main task of Rassie will be establish structures to do this. His inputs to the Springboks last...
Rassie’s inputs to the Springboks last year were lauded by everyone I spoke to and his coaching pedigree speaks for itself, considering the vast amount of success he’s had at the Cheetahs and Western Province
I have worked closely with most of the people while others have come very highly regarded and I’m confident the Springboks will benefit from their involvement. We will work well together as a team and will hit the ground running in the short turnaround for the first Test against England
Rassie is one of the most astute brains in world rugby – his appointment at SARU will ensure we have the best possible leadership at our national teams. He will work with all the national teams, but will be involved with the Springboks while they are in camp
I’m planning to look quite wide at most of the eligible players from our five Vodacom 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...
It's not the answer to bring Bakkies back. The younger locks should be given a chance to show their worth, especially with a new coach (Heyneke Meyer) for the Springboks
My Mum is British and I had an exchange at Millfield school so things just went from there. I made a choice to play for England and I’ve never looked back and considered playing for the Springboks. That’s the way my Dad taught me and he’s more than happy to see me playing for England.
I have enjoyed a wonderful professional career that had its beginnings in Durban with The Sharks and then, of course, carried through into the Springboks.
The word great and legend are used so frequently these days. This man was iconic ... He was one of the greatest players ever to wear the Welsh and Lions jersey. To go to New Zealand in ’71 with the Lions and beat the Al Blacks was huge. Three years later in South Africa we beat the Springboks. He was so...
It’s really been good that we’ve been afforded the opportunity to host it and I think the Baby Boks are going to respond like the Springboks did in 1995 – the whole world wanted them to win, so there’s another opportunity that’s been given to the Rainbow Nation.
