The Springboks made one change to the team that beat Argentina in Soweto last weekend for this weekend’s return Rugby Championship match in Mendoza on Saturday.
The match 23 shows only one change from the team that beat the Pumas by 73-13 last weekend – Jano Vermaak comes onto the bench as replacement scrumhalf for Fourie du Preez.
If Vermaak gets game-time, he will play in his second Test after making his Springbok debut in Durban against Italy in June.
He picked up an unfortunate injury in that Test, which ruled him out of the rest of the Incoming Series.
“We’re fortunate that we are able to keep an unchanged team for this Test,” said Meyer.
Springbok hooker Bismarck du Plessis will play in his 50th Test for South Africa when he comes off the bench. – Rugbyweek.com
