It took Aphelele Fassi just one touch to announce himself on the international stage four years ago, now he comes up against the same opposition keen to dazzle again.

Fassi lit up Loftus Versfeld on his Springbok debut against Georgia back in 2021.

Within the first five minutes of the Test, Fassi collected a wide pass in the tramlines, and crashed over in the corner for his first international try. Normally a fullback, the Sharks star started on the wing that night and walked away with the Man of the Match award after a dazzling all-round display.

Now, with the Boks set to face Georgia again in Nelspruit on Saturday, Fassi returns to the starting lineup to remind everyone why he’s considered the first-choice fullback in the country at the moment.
