A key player has been ruled out of the Springboks’ squad to face Argentina after suffering an injury in training.
Morne van den Berg – who joined the squad in Stellenbosch on Thursday afternoon – will take the place of Williams. The talented Lions star made his debut against Portugal in Bloemfontein and earned his first start in the green and gold against Australia in Perth last month. “If he receives the opportunity to play, it will be a great way for the coaches to see how he handles with that type of pressure, and it would also be a stern test for him personally.”
