Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus must give Embrose Papier the No.9 jersey for Saturday’s Test against Scotland in Edinburgh.
Having been named on the bench a total of 10 times for the national team, Papier was allowed onto the pitch by his coach only five times in those outings.
Since the 21-year-old’s national call-up in May, his total game time in the Green and Gold amounts to just 23 minutes, meaning Papier gets an average of just over four minutes on the pitch if he takes the field.
And not having worn the No.9 jumper of his country to date, Erasmus has the perfect opportunity to test the Bulls star this weekend with regular scrumhalf Faf de Klerk returning to his English club Sale Sharks.
However, whenever De Klerk has not been available to the national team, Erasmus has fallen back on Papier’s Bulls teammate Ivan van Zyl.
It was Van Zyl who started the first match of the November tour - the 12-11 defeat to England at Twickenham.
In that match, it was Papier who warmed the bench for him and was given five minutes to make an impression.
When De Klerk returned for the 29-26 win over France, Papier again sat on the wood for the full match.
Surely now this weekend should be Papier se uur.
