Le sélectionneur Rassie Erasmus a procédé à neuf changements dans le XV de départ, avec le retour de nombreux joueurs cadres, dont le N.8 Jasper Wiese, de retour de suspension, le centre Damian de Allende ou le demi de mêlée Cobus Reinach.

En l’absence de plusieurs deuxièmes lignes, dont Eben Etzebeth, touché au dos, l’habituel troisième ligne Pieter-Steph du Toit s’installe dans la cage, aux côtés du peu expérimenté Ruan Nortjé.

Les Springboks, premiers du Rugby Championship avec dix points, n’ont plus affronté les Blacks depuis la finale de la Coupe du monde en France l’automne dernier, où ils avaient décroché le quatrième titre de leur histoire en s’imposant 12-11.

La composition des Springboks face à la Nouvelle-Zélande :

XV de départ : Aphelele FassiCheslin Kolbe, Jesse Kriel, Damian de Allende, Kurt-Lee Arendse – Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu (o), Cobus Reinach (m) – Ben-Jason Dixon, Jasper Wiese, Siya Kolisi (cap.) – Ruan Nortje, Pieter-Steph du Toit – Frans Malherbe, Bongi Mbonambi, Ox Nche.

Remplaçants : Malcolm Marx, Gerhard Steenekamp, Vincent Koch, Marco van Staden, Elrigh Louw, Kwagga Smith, Grant Williams, Handre Pollard.

Does South Africa have a future in European competition?

I had a look at the wiki article again, it's all terribly old data (not that I'd see reason for much change in the case of SA).

Number Of Clubs:

1526

Registered+Unregistered Players:

651146

Number of Referees:

3460

Pre-teen Male Players:

320842

Pre-teen Female Player:

4522

Teen Male Player:

199213

Teen Female Player:

4906

Senior Male Player:

113174

Senior Female Player:

8489

Total Male Player:

633229

Total Female Player:

17917


So looking for something new as were more concerned with adults specifically, so I had a look at their EOY Financial Review.

The total number of clubs remains consistent, with a marginal increase of 1% from 1,161 to 1,167. 8.1.

A comparative analysis of verified data for 2022 and 2023 highlights a marginal decline of 1% in the number of female players, declining from 6,801 to 6,723. Additionally, the total number of players demonstrates an 8% decrease, dropping from 96,172 to 88,828.

So 80k+ adult males (down from 113k), but I'm not really sure when youth are involved with SAn clubs, or if that data is for some reason not being referenced/included. 300k male students however (200k in old wiki data).


https://resources.world.rugby/worldrugby/document/2020/07/28/212ed9cf-cd61-4fa3-b9d4-9f0d5fb61116/P56-57-Participation-Map_v3.pdf has France at 250k registered but https://presse-europe1-fr.translate.goog/exclu-europe-1-le-top-10-des-sports-les-plus-pratiques-en-france-en-2022/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp has them back up at 300k registered.


The French number likely Students + Club, but everyone collects data different I reckon. In that WR pdf for instance a lot of the major nations have a heavily registered setup, were as a nation like England can penetrate into a lot more schools to run camps and include them in the reach of rugby. For instance the SARU release says only 29% of schools are reached by proper rugby programs, where as the 2million English number would be through a much much higer penetration I'd imagine. Which is thanks to schools having the ability to involve themselves in programs more than anything.


In any case, I don't think you need to be concerned with the numbers, whether they are 300 or 88k, there is obviously a big enough following for their pro scenes already to have enough quality players for a 10/12 team competition. They appear ibgger than France but I don't really by the lower English numbers going around.
