The Springboks have suffered a blow on the eve of their Rugby Championship clash with the All Blacks at Albany, losing halfback Ross Cronje through illness.
Cronje, the Lions halfback has a stomach bug and will be replaced in the No. 9 jersey by 43‑test veteran Francois Hougaard, with Bulls halfback Rudy Paige coming onto the reserves bench.
The All Blacks will host the Springboks at 7.35pm tomorrow while the Wallabies will host Argentina at 10pm.
