DURBAN - Jean -Luc du Preez has been recalled to the Springboks squad as cover at lock and flank for Saturday’s second Test match against Argentina at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha.
The beefy 26-year-old joins his twin brother, Dan, who was called up before the first match against the Pumas last week and enjoyed a cameo off the bench in the second half.Both twins had been part of the initial 45-man Bok squad that had a training camp before the friendly against Georgia but both were in a group of five players who were cut when coach Jacques Nienaber reduced the size of the squad following the South Africa ‘A’ matches against the Lions and the Bulls.
“We have a physically demanding Rugby Championship campaign ahead, which includes a long tour to Australasia, and given the strict protocols in place to call up players to Australia due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we opted to draft Jean-Luc into the group sooner rather than later,” said Nienaber.
