The Springboks have called Flip van der Merwe (Merver) into their squad but are sweating over the fitness of Victor Matfield and Marcell Coetzee for their clash with New Zealand.
Both players were forced to leave the field last Saturday against Australia ‑ Matfield with a hamstring strain and Coetzee with a knock to his knee.
According to Springbok team doctor Craig Roberts a call on the players' availability in Johannesburg will only be made later in the week.
The Springboks will host the All Blacks at 3.05am Sunday while the Wallabies will take on Argentina at 10.40am also on Sunday.
