The Saints qualified for the last eight with a 24-14 win over Irish province Munster last weekend, a match England fullback Furbank missed with a calf injury.
Dowson said on Tuesday there was still a chance the 27-year-old could face the South Africans.
“He has trained a bit more so we will just wait and see,” Dowson told reporters.
“Any of these soft-tissue things we are very nervy around because you give them a go and then you wait to see what the reaction is.
“He has done a few bits today [Tuesday] so we will manage him coming back in really, in terms of when he gets into contact,” Dowson added.
