Regrettably, Lukhanyo Am has been excluded from the lineup for Springboks' Rugby World Cup semi-finals.
According to The South African, coach Jacques Nienaber had this to say about the current lineup:
"We have players like Lukhanyo Am, Canan Moodie, Andre Esterhuizen, Jasper Wiese, Jean Kleyn who are all good enough to be in this team. But we can only select 23, and everyone in this group is aligned and understands that the country comes first."
Some fans were concerned about Lukhanyo Am's exclusion:
mkhizesizwe asked:
"Why was Am told to come to France if he won't even feature?"

"I won’t lie, I really miss seeing Am on the field but if there’s one thing I’ve learnt over the years is the power of chemistry, when players have good synergy they play for each other and they play well!"
