His selection is a testament to his exceptional work ethic, determination, and consistently impressive performances on the field. 

According to IOL, coach Rassie Erasmus made 10 changes to his run-on Springbok team, with only Aphelele Fassi, Jesse Kriel, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Paul de Villiers and Cobus Wiese remaining in the starting team from the one which defeated Scotland 42-28 this past weekend.

Although Moyo has been one of the country’s most exciting young prospects, showcasing his athleticism, rugby intelligence, and fearless approach whenever he has taken the field for the Junior Boks, this upcoming Test match in Durban will be his first one for the Boks.  

His rise through the South African rugby ranks has been closely watched, and his inclusion in the Springbok squad signals a bright future for both the player and the national team. 

His journey from junior international rugby to the senior squad is an inspiration to young players across South Africa, demonstrating that commitment, discipline, and outstanding performances can turn dreams into reality.
