Rugby Championship: Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus defends team selections


Stormers halfback Herschel Jantjies will make his international debut against the Wallabies. South Africa's fielding of a second-string team for their Rugby Championship opener against the Wallabies shouldn't be seen as a sign of disrespect, according to coach Rassie Erasmus. The Springboks named three debutants in their squad, including starting halfback Herschel Jantjies, to face the Wallabies at Ellis Park on Saturday. "When he came up against some of the best players in Super Rugby, he stood his ground and was consistent on attack and defence." Springboks: Warrick Gelant, S'busiso Nkosi, Jesse Kriel, Andre Esterhuizen, Makazole Mapimpi, Elton Jantjies, Herschel Jantjies, Francois Louw, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Rynhardt Elstadt, Lood de Jager, Eben Etzebeth (c), Trevor Nyakane, Bongi Mbonambi, Tendai Mtawarira.
