💨 Abstract

Veteran Springbok prop Vincent Koch, 35, a last-standing member of the original 2019 Bomb Squad, appears to have fallen out of favor with coach Rassie Erasmus. Despite being fit, Koch has been overlooked for younger props like Thomas du Toit and Asenathi Ntlabakanye. With the 2027 Rugby World Cup approaching, Koch’s chances of selection seem slim, marking the likely end of his Springbok career.
