The Springboks face a big selection decision over whether to slot Lukhanyo Am straight back into the team or continue with Jesse Kriel.

that Lukhanyo Am, a member of the Springboks’ 2019 Rugby World Cup winning team, has been called into the 2023 squad as an injury replacement for wing Makazole Mapimpi.Am joined the squad in Toulon this week, having returned to training on his rehabilitation from a knee injury suffered in the 24-13 victory win over Argentina in Buenos Aires on 5 August.WHERE DOES LUKHANYO AM FIT IN?

In fairness, Jesse Kriel has also fared more than capably in the absence of Am, and it would be a massive call to now make a change at 13.Perhaps Am will be accommodated on the bench, but again this would probably mean the Springboks have to go the five-three route.
