Etzebeth, the most capped Bok with 147 Test appearances, was ruled out of Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus’ initial touring squad for the second phase of the Nations Championship due to injury.

However, he is now fit and has been recalled to the squad in place of Ahmed.

The 20-year-old Ahmed, one of six uncapped players in the squad, was sidelined with a sore shoulder which saw him miss most of the training sessions in the build-up to the Boks’ 66-7 victory against Italy in Turin on Saturday.

The Springboks play France in Paris on Friday evening.

Khaldi curled in a superb shot from outside the box 10 minutes into the second half, having set up an early goal for Zakaria Draoui as USM claimed the trophy for the second time after a maiden success in 2023.

Saadi Radouani also found the back of the net for the visitors, while Iqraam Rayners’ first-half penalty for Sundowns proved a consolation.

The start of the second half was delayed by around 30 minutes after a heavy downpour in Pretoria.

Sundowns won the African Champions League last season to earn their place in the Super Cup but were knocked out before the group stages this time round. USM claimed the African Confederation Cup in the 2025-26 campaign.

The Brazilians fall short in the final.

Van Assche, ranked 47th in the world, pushed Unites States’ (US) Ben Shelton hard and took the first set in Saturday’s semi-final, before eventually losing 5-7 6-3 6-4 to the American in front of home fans.

“It is true that this week is very important for me because I have a lot of high-level matches under my belt in a row. I played Shelton, who is number four in the world,” the 22-year-old told reporters after his defeat.

“That showed everything that I could do well, and where I have some room for progress. This will help me to have more self-confidence; I know now that I can reach a semi-final.

“I know that I can go toe-to-toe with a player like Shelton today. So there is a lot of positive things to get from this, and I will try to work more to be even better next year.”

Van Assche’s run in Paris means he will rise to a career-high ranking of 34th in the world when the latest rankings are published on Monday.

Asked if he was aiming to be among the seeded players at next year’s Australian Open in January, he said: “I don’t think I’m going to think along those lines. Of course it helps being a seeded player. I will be 34 in the ranking.”

“It’s a very good ranking. It’s very positive. But above all, I will try to remain focused on my game, on learning new skills, on progressing, and then the ranking will follow.”

Shelton will face seven-time Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz of Spain in the Paris Masters final later on Sunday.
