Springbok assistant coach Tony Brown gave good news regarding injuries in the camp and said that although there were no injury concerns going into the match against Italy on Saturday at 14:40 (SA Time).
Brown said that they were managing the players as well as possible following the physically taxing match at Stade de France.
“We have a lot of sore bodies, so recovery has been massive for us, but we have no injury concerns,” said Brown. “Obviously, Lood (de Jager, who received a red card in the first half against France, has to go through a hearing, so we won’t find out if he’s available for selection until after that.
“We’ll hopefully know by Wednesday what the status is with him. Both Lood and the sore bodies were part of the delay in announcing our team, which is scheduled for Thursday."
