After a stellar debut season with Bath Rugby, the club's 2023/24 top try-scorer, Thomas du Toit, has been named in Erasmus's summer squad for a two test series against Ireland. Du Toit has made quite the impression this year, picking up Players' Player of the Year at the club's annual awards. He was also named Best Forward, aided by his immense ability to play both sides of the scrum, as demonstrated in the Premiership Final against Northampton Saints. Sitting on 18 South African caps, the prop was involved in the Boks' World Cup win of 2019. The Springboks will take on Ireland in a two-test series at home in South Africa, and also play Portugal in their last outing of the Castle Lager Incoming Series. --- ##### SQUAD **Forwards:** Phepsi Buthelezi (Hollywoodbets Sharks)
