Renzo du Plessis
Lions rookie loose forward Renzo du Plessis was massively surprised when he saw his name on the list of players for the first Springbok alignment camp this past week.
After a breakthrough Currie Cup season, where he scored tries for the fun of it, the 22-year-old made the camp despite playing the least minutes of all the invited players in the United Rugby Championship (URC) this season.
His exploits in the Currie Cup last season, of which he won Player of the Year at the recent SA Rugby Awards, laid the foundation for his inclusion.
