Late Springbok setback hits Boland
INJURY UPDATE: Boland have been forced into a late change ahead of their Currie Cup clash against the Pumas on Sunday at Boland Stadium.
Louis Schreuder has been ruled out of the Round Three encounter due to flu.
Schreuder, who started Boland’s opening two matches of the campaign, will be replaced by former Puma’s scrumhalf Chriswill September.
Veteran Godlen Masimla comes in as cover on the bench.
Schreuder was capped once for the Springboks as a second-half replacement against Wales in 2017.
The Cavaliers have nine log points from back-to-back home wins, while the Pumas sit on three points after two opening defeats.
