Rugby: 2019 World Cup winner Herschel Jantjies signs with Bayonne

# Rugby: A member of South Africa’s 2019 World Cup-winning team, Herschel Jantjies, will join French Top 14 side Bayonne next season on a two-year deal. The 28-year-old scrumhalf, who has 25 Test caps, last played for the Springboks in August last year and wasn’t considered for the 2023 World Cup. Bayonne praised Jantjies’ international experience, signing him from the Stormers, where he’s been a key player since 2016. The move is set to bolster the Basque side’s ambitions.
