Get Ready for these Springbok players stealing the show against England!

Quintin van Jaarsveld calls out five Springbok stars ready to shine in Saturday's Test match at Twickenham.

Wilco Louw

A testament to perseverance, Louw returns to international rugby after a three-year hiatus. He put in some monstrous performances for the Bulls, only to be snubbed initially for the end-of-year touring squad. An injury to Jan-Hendrik Wessels opened the door for Louw and Johan Grobbelaar to join the squad, giving them a golden opportunity to prove their mettle.

RG Snyman

Known for his unique skillset and skyscraper-like height, Snyman, despite starting in just 10 of his 38 Tests, always leaves a lasting impression. This Test match will be interesting as it's his first time starting alongside Eben Etzebeth. With a diverse array of abilities, including one-handed offloading, Snyman can more than hold his own in the physical, starting-five role.

Grant Williams

The speed and delivery of Williams set him apart as an ideal impact player. With just 16 Tests under his belt, he's only started four games, with two at scrumhalf. Unfortunate performances have limited Williams' chances to shine in the starting lineup. This weekend, he needs to display his attacking flair without compromising his kicking accuracy to secure more starts.

Manie Libbok

Libbok gets another chance to make an impact at Twickenham and needs only six points to set a century of points for the Springboks. Known for his exquisite hands and pinpoint kick-passing, Libbok can be a handful behind a powerful pack. His selection alongside Williams hints at a more attacking approach from the Springboks. It'll be interesting to see who'll handle the goal-kicking duties and how they'll fair.

Aphelele Fassi

Fassi's rise to stardom has been a delight to watch following a few years in the Test wilderness. With Willie le Roux nearing retirement and Damian Willemse out due to injury, Fassi steps up. His impressive performance against Argentina secured two tries, adding four to his season tally. He'll be more than ready to take on the challenge at Twickenham.
