The game took place in Wellington earlier this month and he will join the Springboks in London.<\/p>\n
He will cover for Franco Mostert, who remained behind in SA on Sunday due to a family bereavement.<\/p>\n
The team is gearing up for their closing Rugby Championship encounter against Argentina\u00a0at Twickenham on Saturday.<\/p>\n
After an impressive performance against Argentina this past weekend in Durban, the Springboks are now in the driving seat to successfully defend their title.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The Boks arrived in England on Monday and will have a well-deserved rest day before hitting the training ground again on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
