Despite being added to the injury list after the Ireland defeat, the utility player might just play in The Rugby Championship opener.
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.
Erasmus said during a press conference in Johannesburg that Du Toit suffered a bruised knee and has also been battling the flu, but will be fit to face the Wallabies. “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.
