SA Rugby revealed that the Boks’ scheduled training session on Monday has been suspended following a positive test in the squad.

The Boks are set to face Georgia again in Johannesburg on Friday.

Jacques Nienaber’s side won the first Test 40-9 in Pretoria.

“The players have been placed in preventative isolation prior to further PCR testing and a review of the testing data by the Medical Advisory Group (MAG),” said a statement.

“Lock Lood de Jager returned a positive outcome in scheduled testing and, because of his close contact with a number of squad members, the entire group has gone into isolation.

“An update will be issued following the review by the MAG and the further testing.”
