Rassie brings in Stormers star as Boks prepare for Los Pumas and NZ
SQUAD UPDATE: Springbok head coach Rassie Erasmus has added some more muscle to his camp as they prepare for the one-off Test against Argentina and Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series.
Stormers prop Ntuthuko Mchunu has been called up to the national squad.
The squad assembled in Johannesburg on Sunday evening and resumed their on-field preparations on Monday, where they will be joined by Mchunu, who earned his fourth Test cap against Scotland during the Nations Championship earlier this month.
The 27-year-old’s inclusion in the group increases the size of Erasmus’ squad in Johannesburg to 44 players.
Mchunu was originally one of five players released to their franchises last week to face the All Blacks in the midweek matches.
The Bok coach is set to name his travelling squad to Argentina for the Test in Buenos Aires on Saturday, August 8, later in the week, with that group of players and management departing for Argentina in two groups on Saturday.
The remaining players will zoom in on the matches against New Zealand under the guidance of a few coaches, medical staff, and management members at their training base in Johannesburg.
