Sharks fullback Curwin Bosch has not given up on his Springbok dream just yet.
Capped twice at international level, the 21-year-old has fallen off the radar a bit in the Rassie Erasmus era.
But Bosch believes that if he does well with the Sharks in the Currie Cup, a Bok recall might be on the cards.
He says: “At the end of the day, I think all of us want to play for the Boks, but for me, the most important thing is to firstly help the Sharks to do well in the Currie Cup, and then for me to just enjoy my rugby.
“If you look at the previous times when guys have been selected for the Boks, it is usually when your province is doing well, so most of the guys have realised that.
"But personally I don’t put a lot of pressure on myself, I want to enjoy my rugby and if it is meant to be, it will come, you just have to work hard and enjoy the rugby.”
