💨 Abstract
The Springboks are preparing for the 2027 World Cup and releasing certain veteran players, including Faf de Klerk, Makazole Mapimpi, and Lukhanyo Am. De Klerk, at 33, faces competition from younger players but remains in mix. Mapimpi, 35, is reliable but may struggle to make the 2027 roster.
