Could a “next gen” Springboks backline look like this?

Notably, there is a “next gen” of young players who can support the current World Cup-winning backline players, but the vast majority of them will still be young enough to play in the next World Cup.
In light of this, we examine what a “second tier” backline may entail in order to provide young, skilled alternatives, and the analysis is engaging.
Impressive back-up young talent available for Springboks
“Next gen” Springboks backline: 9 Jaden Hendrikse (age: 23), 10 Jordan Hendrikse (age: 22), 11 Canan Moodie (age: 21), 12 Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu (age: 21), 13 Henco van Wyk (22), 14 Tyrone Green (age: 25), 15 Damian Willemse (age: 25).
HOW THINGS COULD LOOK FOR THE BOKS BETWEEN NOW AND 2027:
