Etzebeth Returns to Springbok Starting XV
Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus has named his squad for his side's opening Rugby Championship match against Argentina in Durban.
Warren Whiteley, Francois Louw, Eben Etzebeth and Malcolm Marx all return to the starting XV.
The uncapped duo of Damian Willemse and Marco van Staden feature on the bench, while Makazole Mapimpi will start at No 14 jersey following the injury to S’bu Nkosi who started all three Tests against England.
Sharks centres André Esterhuizen and Lukhanyo Am will feature in the same in the midfield for the time having both made their first starts for the Boks in June.
Erasmus has opted to include lock Marvin Orie and centre Lionel Mapoe on the bench for the clash against Argentina.
