# Rugby: Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus has assured players on the fringes of the national squad they are part of his plans ahead of Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry against New Zealand. He says Saturday’s Test against Argentina is about building momentum, improving performance and giving returning players valuable game time after injury. Erasmus insists fringe players do not have to prove themselves to earn selection, saying squad rotation will be vital during the demanding four-Test tour. Erasmus also expressed confidence in captain Siya Kolisi’s fitness ahead of the clash.
