Springboks fly-half star According to South Africa’s rugby director Rassie Erasmus, Handre Pollard’s calf injury will likely prevent him from playing in the Rugby Championship in July.
Damian Willemse, a utility back, has recovered from a knee injury and is available for the southern hemisphere competition, which is more good news for the world champions.
On July 8, Australia will play in Pretoria, on July 15, New Zealand will play in Auckland, and on July 29, Argentina will play in Johannesburg.
The only major worry, in my opinion, will be Handre. At a press conference in Pretoria, the 2019 Rugby World Cup champion coach declared that Damian was prepared to play.
