The South Africa 'A' national rugby union team, also formerly referred to as the Junior Springboks or the Emerging Springboks, are the second national rugby union team in South Africa after the national side. They competed in the Nations Cup in 2007 and 2008 alongside the full national teams of Namibia, Romania and Georgia as well as Argentina Jaguars and Italy A. They also sporadically play touring sides such as the British and Irish Lions. The team is made up of players of all ages and is not necessarily a junior side, but as a selection criterion they may not have represented the Springboks before.
