The Springbok selectors have called up a replacement for the injured Elrigh Louw ahead of the three-day training camp in Stellenbosch.
Louw suffered an ankle injury during the Vodacom Bulls’ win against Benetton on Friday night.
“His ankle is too swollen at the moment to determine how serious it is, but it looks like he will be out for between four to eight weeks,” a source in the Bulls camp told Rapport newspaper.
A thorough examination of his ankle will only be possible on Monday in Pretoria if the swelling has subsided.

As a result, DHL Stormers No 8 Evan Roos has been called up to the 26-man squad for the camp.
Roos made his Test debut for the Boks against Wales in Bloemfontein in July but has not featured for them since.
