Springbok loose-forward, Elrigh Louw, has been called up to the national squad for the Nations Championship as additional forward cover and will join his teammates in Johannesburg today.
Louw played the last of his 13 Test matches against Wales in November 2024, and spent most of the 2025 season on the sidelines, recovering from a serious knee injury.
Louw returned to the field this year and made a strong impact in the Bulls pack during the United Rugby Championship, which earned him a call-up to the Springbok alignment camps.
He now makes a welcome return to the wider squad as the Springboks begin their inaugural Nations Championship campaign against England at Ellis Park on Saturday.
