Next-Gen Boks' Chance to Prove Themselves
The next-gen Boks are about to face their biggest test yet, with crucial matches coming up in Paris and Dublin.
Rugby is a game of motivation, with key dates circled on the calendar where teams need to peak and deliver results. For Rassie Erasmus' new-look Boks, the upcoming matches against France and Ireland are those dates.
Like every professional athlete, you need to circle a date on the calendar when you’re going to peak … and then be judged against the results.
Despite their progress, the Boks have yet to win when it counts this year, with three key events identified at the start of the 2025 season: taking on the All Blacks, facing a vengeful France, and playing Ireland, the only team with bragging rights against the world champions.
The matches in Paris and Dublin will be the ultimate test for the next-gen Boks, and their performance will be judged accordingly.
