Talk about being unlucky. This Springboks veteran has been ruled out of the final with a knee injury sustained just before the Rugby World Cup 2023 final.
SPRINGBOKS PLANS FOR ALL BLACKS HAKA IN RUGBY WORLD CUP FINAL REVEALEDThankfully, he will still be present and will win whatever medals the Springboks win – as will the likes of Malcolm Marx and Makazole Mapimpi.The latter stalwart duo have both returned to provide moral support to the Boks. Moreover, the good news is that no further injuries were reported by Jacques Nienaber and Rassie Erasmus. Therefore, Nyakane is the only injury enforced change.
“The only enforced change among the replacements is at prop where Trevor Nyakane replaces Vincent Koch, who is nursing a knee injury. He joins Ox Nche and Deon Fourie as front-row cover, while the Munster duo of RG Snyman and Kleyn will serve as the back-up locks, and Kwagga Smith and Wiese the back-up loose forwardsWhilst, Manie Libbok and Cobus Reinach makes way for Jean Kleyn and Jasper Wiese to accommodate the 7-1 split, aka, the “Nuke Squad”. Meaning, they were available for selection.
He picked up an injury in the Springboks opening match of the 2019 Rugby World Cup against NZ. Now, he will play in the final against the same opponents having worked hard to return to form and to bounce back from injuries.
