Zach Porthen is already rewriting the prop's playbook
Less than a year after making his Springbok debut at Wembley, Zach Porthen has evolved into one of South African rugby’s brightest front-row prospects.
The 22-year-old will earn his third Test cap from the bench against England on Saturday, a selection that underlines just how quickly he has climbed the Springbok ranks.
When Porthen made his international debut against Japan last October, he became the youngest prop to represent the Springboks in the professional era.
