Northampton Saints' scrum-half Cobus Reinach has been named in a 26-man South Africa squad that assembles in Pretoria ahead of the summer international period.
After collecting both the Supporters' and Players' Player of the Season following a standout season at Saints, Reinach has been called on by South Africa head coach Rassie Erasmus as the side prepare for upcoming Tests against Australia, New Zealand and Argentina before reporting for Rugby World Cup training in September.
Well, well, well. Guess who's been named in the @Springboks first squad of the summer? 👀
