The Springboks could be in line to receive a number of reinforcements for their Rugby Championship campaign after a bruising 2-1 Test series win against Wales came to an end over the past weekend.
Although the large 42-man squad came through the three Test series largely unscathed, a few injury concerns were picked up over the last two matches.
Centre Andre Esterhuizen broke his hand in the second Test, with assistant coach Deon Davids claiming he should be out for up to four weeks, leaving him in a race against time to be fit for the Rugby Champs, while wing Cheslin Kolbe suffered a suspected fractured jaw in the final match.

The Boks also have a pretty stacked outside back department, with Kurt-Lee Arendse and Aphelele Fassi available to pick up the baton while the experienced Jesse Kriel is also an option out wide having played there before for the Boks.
