The Bok management though‚ was confident that Nyakane would be available for selection against the All Blacks in Yokohama on September 21.

Nyakane flew home to be with his wife for the birth of their first child and will return to Japan to link up with the team next Friday.

After beating Japan 41-7 in their final pre-World Cup match and coming through without any serious injuries‚ the Boks are in the best possible shape for a title challenge. Against Japan‚ in the sweltering and humid conditions of Kumagaya‚ the Boks slowed the pace of the game by launching numerous contestable kicks on the Japan back three. They still scored six tries.

“It was just a good performance ‚” respected SuperSport analyst and former Bok coach Nick Mallett said.
