RUGBY NEWS - Marco van Staden has taken Venter’s place on the bench. He will serve as hooker cover, with Jan-Hendrik Wessels among the replacements as a prop.

However, both Van Staden, who’s comfortable at hooker and flank, and Wessels, who’s able to play hooker and prop, can play multiple positions in the pack.

The Boks go into the Test on the back of a big win against New Zealand in Wellington, while the Pumas beat the Wallabies last time out.
