@judah.sports: Despite producing impressive performances for the Lions, Ethan Adams has been overlooked for Rassie Erasmus’ 37-man Springbok squad for the 2026 Nations Championship. The omission comes as six uncapped players have been handed their first senior Springbok call-ups, highlighting the opportunities being created for South Africa's emerging talent. Among the new faces are Yaqeen Ahmed, Sebastian de Klerk, Luan Giliomee, Markus Muller, Riley Norton and Emmanuel Tshituka. Several of these youngsters have already made their mark at Junior Springbok or franchise level. With other emerging talents earning opportunities in the senior setup, Adams' absence raises questions about what more the young Lions midfielder needs to do to earn his opportunity. At just 19, Adams remains one of South Africa's exciting young midfield prospects, and his development will be one to watch. Was Adams unlucky to miss out, or is it simply a matter of timing? #rugby #rugbyunion #rugbytok #rugbyboys #schoolboyrugby

If we keep looking to have player of colour in green and gold, purely because of colour we can forget about the three-peat. I feel like the best players should be selected and fielded, whether you're purple, orange or whatever colour. I am Adam's fan tho, the best he can do is when he finally get the opportunity he delivers and make the selectors see that they missed a gem🇿🇦💪

Ethan Adams is the most hyped collegeboy player in years. Why would the springboks not give the fans what they want? He can hit, he can jackal, he can step, his offloading ability is amazing. What more do you need? Why are so many tier 1 teams stepping away from big centres?

People calling this racism is still living in the past. Rassie has done a phenomenal job at putting a diverse team together over the years that brought us two back to back world cups. Let's also list all the other white boys left out. No space for race here. You either good enough or not. Leave the racist comments out of sport please and let our nation grow the way it's supposed to be

No offence to the young players they are all good. But personally i think Henco Van Wyk needs a chance before them. Only my opinion.
