Quartet added to Springboks squad
Uncapped number eight Dan du Preez and wing Raymond Rhule are among four players who have rejoined the South Africa squad ahead of the Rugby Championship clash with New Zealand on Saturday.
Du Preez could make his first appearance for the Springboks in their final game of the tournament at Newlands after Uzair Cassiem was ruled out for up to six weeks with a fractured rib.
Cassiem did the damage during the draw with Australia last weekend and was replaced by Jean-Luc du Preez, who has now been joined in the squad by his twin brother.
Wings Rhule and S'busiso Nkosi also reported for international duty along with prop Wilco Louw.
"Uzair sustained a fractured rib and it will take him about six weeks to recover," South Africa team doctor Konrad von Hagen said.
"Apart from the normal bumps and bruises after a very hard Test match, the rest of the players are in good health.
"Actually, if you look at us going through a tough Rugby Championship and the strenuous Super Rugby competition, then I am glad to report that the rest of the squad are all able to train this afternoon [Monday]."
The Springboks, second in the table behind champions New Zealand, will name their side on Thursday.

Thanks, JM.
Go to commentsHello, I'm Jack Frampton from San Antonio, Texas. I want to share my story of how I fell victim to a crypto Ponzi scheme when I came across a phony website pretending to be a genuine crypto exchange, I never knew they created a fake exchange page where their victims deposit cryptos in the hope of their huge profits unknowingly that they were being conned. Morphohack Cyber Service made me realize that I was a victim of these scams after I contacted them when this same exchange website refused to let me withdraw my crypto funds. I was devastated and contacted Morphohack Cyber Service who was able to recover my crypto funds and told me about this scam. I would advise people out there to be more careful and do their due diligence before investing in crypto.
