Good news for Springboks prop Oosthuizen
By Peter Thompson
Coenie Oosthuizen will link up with the South Africa squad on Friday after a scan revealed that the prop has not fractured a rib.
Oosthuizen started the Springboks' 41-23 Rugby Championships victory over Argentina last Saturday, but came off early in the second half in Salta due to injury.
The 28-year-old went for a scan on Tuesday and was given positive news.
Oosthuizen is to report for international duty in Johannesburg later this week and will be monitored ahead of South Africa's third game of the competition against Australia in Perth on September 9.
Allister Coetzee's men have made a positive start to the Rugby Championship, doing the double over the Pumas.

I think we need to get innovative with the new laws.
Now red cards are only 20 minutes, Razor should send Finau on a head hunting mission to hospitalise their 10 with a shoulder to the chops.
Give the conspiracy theorists a win.
Go to commentsEngland played well enough to win but couldnt score when they needed to and couldnt defend a couple of X-Factor moments from Telea which was ultimately the difference. They needed to hold the ball more and make the AB's make more tackles. Territorially they were good for the first 60. Defending their lead and playing pragmatic rugby in the last 20 was silly. The AB's always had the potential to come back. England still have a long way to go, definite progress would have been shown had they won but it seems they are still stuck where they were shortly after the six nations and their tour to NZ
