The game took place in Wellington earlier this month and he will join the Springboks in London.

He will cover for Franco Mostert, who remained behind in SA on Sunday due to a family bereavement.

The team is gearing up for their closing Rugby Championship encounter against Argentina at Twickenham on Saturday.

After an impressive performance against Argentina this past weekend in Durban, the Springboks are now in the driving seat to successfully defend their title.

Another victory against the Pumas will be good enough to win the competition, unless New Zealand achieve the almost impossible and beat Australia by more than 62 points in Perth.

The Boks arrived in England on Monday and will have a well-deserved rest day before hitting the training ground again on Tuesday.
