Swys de Bruin has left the Springbok Women, and suddenly Saturday’s historic FNB Stadium Test against the Black Ferns carries another layer of intrigue.

The Men in Black are back. The DHL Stormers and adidas have unveiled their 2026/27 Home and Away jerseys, blending the club’s iconic blue-and-white hoops with a bold revival of the legendary 1999 Men in Black era.

Kurt-Lee Arendse is back in the Springbok starting XV for Saturday’s third Test against the All Blacks at FNB Stadium. His return is one of the most intriguing selection calls in Rassie Erasmus’ latest team. Arendse was unlucky to miss the Cape Town Test after Cheslin Kolbe recovered from injury.

Siya Kolisi has fought through injuries, dark moments and doubt before. Now the Springbok captain is back for another heavyweight encounter with the All Blacks. His message ahead of Saturday’s Cape Town showdown is simple: play the game in front of you and embrace whatever comes next.
The Springboks’ must-win Cape Town Test has been hit by a fresh injury cloud. Handré Pollard is reportedly set to miss Saturday’s clash with the All Blacks because of a calf injury.
