Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus has invited 56 players to the camp.

All of whom are based in SA.

With a host of players plying their trade overseas, Erasmus has cast his net as wide as possible to broaden his player-base ahead of the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia.

The players will spend most of their time in the boardroom attending meetings during the three-day camp, while the overseas-based players will engage in similar conference call sessions.

The first group includes 18 players from the 2023 Rugby World Cup winning squad, including 38-year-old utility forward, Deon Fourie, who plays for the Stormers.
