Rassie Erasmus has boosted the world champions by adding Steven Kitshoff, Jaden Hendrikse and Canan Moodie to an enlarged squad for Tests against New Zealand.
Canan Moodie will start at fullback as the Vodacom Bulls named a heavily rotated side to face the Griffons in Pretoria on Saturday.
While Australia has been a treacherous hunting ground for the Springboks in the past, the likes of Bryan Habana and Willie le Roux have produced some brilliance Down Under.
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.
The Springboks provided good news on the injury front following concerns about several players carrying minor injuries ahead of the series against Ireland.
Jake White says Willie le Roux will be ready to face Ireland at Loftus Versfeld in a fortnight, but Canan Moodie is likely to miss out.
The Vodacom Bulls will be without in-form winger Canan Moodie for the United Rugby Championship clash with Benetton at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.
Canan Moodie was magnificent in the derby clash between the Vodacom Bulls and Sharks, storming up field before flinging fellow Bok world champion Ox Nche to the turf.
The Bulls are delighted to have secured the comfort of home for the Vodacom URC playoffs, but Canan Moodie knows they’re in for a “fight” against Benetton on Saturday.
Jake White says he has noticed a “spring in the step” of Canan Moodie after naming him to start at outside centre for the Vodacom Bulls against Dragons in Newport on Saturday.
