Louw Called Up

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 team-mates in Johannesburg on Tuesday.

Louw played the last of his 13 Test matches against Wales in November 2024, and spent most of the 2025 season on the sidelines after suffering a serious knee injury last season.

He returned to the field this year and made a strong impact in the Vodacom Bulls pack, which earned him a call-up to the Springbok alignment camps, and he will make a welcome return to the wider squad as they begin their inaugural Nations Championship campaign against England at Ellis Park on Saturday.

This match will be followed by back-to-back clashes against Scotland at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria on Saturday, 11 July, and Wales at Hollywoodbets Kings Park in Durban on Saturday, 18 July.
