Etzebeth was named in a starting lineup that showed three changes from the team that beat the Jaguares 35-8 at Newlands last week‚ but still has one final hurdle to clear before being passed fit.
“If he doesn’t go well tomorrow JD Schickerling will start and Salmaan Moerat will come on to the bench. "We are following the medical advice‚ how the player is feeling and the protocols. If he doesn’t pass his test on Friday‚ he doesn’t pass‚ and we have other plans in place. Hooker Bongi Mbonambi also returns to the starting lineup with Scarra Ntubeni moving on the bench after starting last week.
“Jordie Barrett at 12 brings a different dynamic because he is an exceptional player with a range of skills. With the Barrett brothers running the backline from the 10/12 axis‚ we will have to be at our best.”
