Ruan Nortjé - Playing for the Springboks

--:--
The Bulls captain and lock, Ruan Nortjé, wants to savour every moment he gets to represent the Springboks in Test rugby.
Nortjé is tipped to wear the number five jersey on Sunday when the back-to-back World Champions tackle Scotland in Edinburgh in their opening Test of the End-of-Year tour.
The 26-year-old wasn’t in the Springboks mix earlier in the year, but he got his opportunity due to injuries to RG Snyman and Salmaan Moerat, and he has grabbed with both hands.
Nortjé said it’s important to play each Test as if it’s your last.
Rassie Erasmus will name his team tomorrow afternoon, and Sunday’s Test at Murrayfield kicks off at 18:10.
