“They’ve been in and out of the squad in terms of their workloads the past few weeks,” Snyman said in an online press conference on Monday.
“They had a full week with us when they weren’t involved with the [Springbok] alignment camp.
“Obviously they’re classy players.
“Every time they’re on the field you can see it.
“They bring a difference and not just on the [training] field but off it as well in terms of meetings etc.
“We’re really excited to have them in the squad again and we hope they will go well.”
