Jacques Nienaber - Damian Willemse

Loading player...

The Springboks are sweating over the fitness of Damian Willemse ahead of this week’s second Rugby Championship Test against Argentina in Durban.
On Saturday Willemse was forced to leave the field with a suspected concussion during their 36-20 win over the Pumas in Buenos Aires.
Should Willemse not be fit for the Test the Springboks will be forced to either play Frans Steyn at flyhalf or bring in a replacement backline marshal.
The Springbok coach, Jacques Nienaber, hasn’t ruled out the possibility of bringing in reinforcements.
