The Springboks are currently in Perth for the second round of the Rugby Championship where they will take on the Wallabies on Saturday, after opening their campaign with a comfortable win in Brisbane. Speaking to KFM on Tuesday morning, Du Plessis confirmed that plans are in place for the Bok captain and Test centurion to be by his side when he walks down to the Octagon.“We’re busy with that, getting Eben and Siya to walk out with us. It looks like it’s basically going to be a done deal,” Du Plessis told breakfast show host Darren Simpson.“We are going to have them walk out with me. They won’t be sitting in the corner, but they will be walking with me to the Octagon, which is pretty special.
