# Rugby: Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus realises this season will be a tough one, starting with this afternoon’s match against the Barbarians in Cape Town. This will be followed by at least 13 Tests until the end of the year. Erasmus says he has two major goals, namely winning as many matches as possible before the draw for 2027’s World Cup in December, and needing to increase squad depth. He ideally wants at least three players vying for each position for the next World Cup in Australia.
