Rassie Erasmus says Pieter-Steph du Toit’s availability to tackle the Wallabies could cause a change of plans with the Bomb Squad for the first Rugby Championship Test in Brisbane.
Franco Mostert suffered a broken leg that has kept him out of the initial Rugby Championship squad, while Malcolm Marx has been included despite also suffering a leg fracture, which has been deemed not to be as serious as initially feared. “Pieter-Steph is ready to play next week and that makes team selection very interesting,” Erasmus said.
“He has to be fit to do that. He had a little bit of a knee bruise, which he’s got over, but he’s also got a bit of flu that didn’t allow him to train fully over the past two days.
