Former Junior Springbok Captain Zachary Porthen will make his Springbok debut against Japan at Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday.

Springboks Coach Rassie Erasmus named 16 players in his matchday squad that featured in the team’s 29-27 victory against Argentina in their final Castle Lager Rugby Championship clash.

Kurt-Lee Arendse (wing), Franco Mostert (utility forward), and Lood de Jager (lock) reclaim their places in the starting 15 after missing the last few matches due to injuries and a family bereavement.

Siya Kolisi leads the team, and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu is the starting flyhalf.
