The Boks play their final Castle Lager Rugby Championship test against Argentina at Growthpoint Kings Park in Durban on Saturday. While the match means nothing to the tournament – in fact the loser will take the wooden spoon – it is of critical importance to both teams as they fine tune for the global showpiece event that kicks off in the middle of next month in England.
Meyer announced last week that regular skipper Jean de Villiers, experienced scrumhalf Fourie du Preez and ball-hugging blindside flank Willem Alberts could all be back in the selection mix this week, but it will depend on how they get through the medical assessments scheduled for Monday morning. Team doctor Craig Roberts will host a media conference at lunch time to clarify where those players stand, and update the injury situation regarding the rest of the squad.
