Springbok Star Jasper Wiese Returns from Injury to Face Italy at Loftus
After a period of recovery from a neck injury, Springbok eighthman Jasper Wiese is back and ready to take on Italy at Loftus Versfeld this Saturday. The Boks are eager to showcase their dominance up front and set a high standard for the upcoming season, with Wiese playing a crucial role in achieving this goal.
Following a strong performance against the Barbarians in a non-Test match, the Springboks are now gearing up to face a determined Italian team in Pretoria. Wiese, who is making his first start of the 2025 campaign, is determined to make a significant impact on the game.
Wiese emphasized the importance of setting a benchmark for the year ahead and building on the team’s performance against the Barbarians. With a few changes in the match 23, the responsibility lies on the forwards to drive the team forward and show dominance on the field.
Despite his recent injury layoff, Wiese is confident and eager to represent the Springboks once again. He reassured fans that his neck injury was not severe and that he is fully recovered and ready to give his all for the team.
Looking ahead, Wiese expressed his excitement at the prospect of playing alongside his younger brother, Cobus Wiese, who is also part of the Bok squad. The brothers have never had the opportunity to play together, and Jasper is hopeful that they will have the chance to represent their country side by side.
Cobus Wiese, who has impressed with his performances for the Bulls, is eager to make his mark in the national team. Jasper has been following his brother’s progress closely and is confident that Cobus will flourish in the Bok environment.
