.Springboks assistant coach Deon Davids didn’t say it in so many words, but it looks highly unlikely that star locks Lood de Jager, RG Snyman and Doogz, will be ready to play in next week’s first Test against Georgia IOLsport Springboks

With first Test taking place at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria next Friday at 7pm, it would mean that they would have to be declared fit without having played any rugby for a few weeks in De Allende’s case, and a number of months with De Jager and Snyman.

“A thorough assessment medically will be made in terms of where they are, and then we will make a decision from there on. “We know that the UK and France-based players will join us from Sunday in camp, and from there, we will make a final assessment and we will know whether they will be part of those guys joining us.”

Kwagga Smith, though, may have the inside lane in that regard to combine with Pieter-Steph du Toit and captain Siya Kolisi in the loose trio, having been part of the 2019 World Cup squad.
