General Info: Ralepelle captained the under-21 Springboks at the 2006 Under 21 Rugby World Championship in France. South Africa made it to the final of the tournament, but were defeated by the hosts, France. He was subsequently included in the Springboks' 2006 Tri Nations Series squad, something which had been widely speculated within the media. Head coach Jake White named Ralepelle on the bench for the second test against Australia, in Sydney. However it would be in Pretoria when he would make his Springbok debut on August 26, coming off the bench as a replacement. He was an unused bench replacement in the final two Tri Nations games as well. Ralepelle was then included in the South African squad for the tour to the Northern Hemisphere. He was an unused bench replacement in the match against Ireland, and the first Test against England. He then came off the bench in the second Test at Twickenham. For the last match of the tour, Ralepelle was named as captain for the match against the World XV at Walkers Stadium in Leicester, and thus becoming the first black and the youngest player to captain the national team.
