Springboks stars show scrum power
Nché made his Springbok debut in 2018 and has since become a regular in the national squad, renowned for his dominant scrummaging and high work rate around the park. He has played a key role in South Africa’s forward battles across recent World Cup campaigns and international Tests.
The loosehead prop was recently nominated for World Rugby Player of the Year, a rare honour for a front-row forward. Off the field, Nché has also expanded his brand, launching ventures such as his Ox Kraal clothing line and forging business partnerships beyond rugby.

Trevor Nyakane’s World Cup pedigree
Nyakane made his Springbok debut in June 2013 against Italy and has gone on to earn more than 60 caps for South Africa. A two-time Rugby World Cup winner, lifting the trophy in 2019 and 2023, he has contributed invaluable power, versatility, and experience to title-winning squads.
Celebrated for his ability to play on both sides of the scrum, Nyakane has been a key figure in the Springbok pack across multiple Test campaigns. Although injuries, including an Achilles surgery, have interrupted his playing time in recent seasons, he remains an important leader and depth option for both club and country.
