Despite limited experience, Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus has praised his potential, noting his performances in the United Rugby Championship and with the Junior Springboks. Porthen, a former Wynberg Boys’ High pupil and UCT Ikey Tigers captain, has quickly risen through the ranks, becoming a regular for the Stormers.
