Springbok head coach Rassie Erasmus has recalled prop Ntuthuko Mchunu to the national squad, with the addition also expanding the overall size of the touring group.
The headline confirms that Erasmus took the decision to increase the squad’s numbers, with Mchunu’s call-up the notable change. Mchunu is a loosehead prop who has previously represented the Springboks and his return to the fold represents a boost to South Africa’s front-row resources.
No further details regarding the specific circumstances of the recall — such as whether it is injury-related or a form-based decision — are available from the provided source text. Planet Rugby reported the development, confirming both the player’s name and the squad-expansion aspect of the move.
The recall adds further depth to the Springbok front row as South Africa continue their international programme.
