If this week hadn't already been tumultuous enough for the Rugby Championship, the Springboks have been hit with a positive Covid-19 test.
Two players have been removed from the South African team camp ahead of this weekend’s trial match for November's competition.
Cheetahs flanker Teboho 'Oupa' Mohoje, has returned a positive result for the coronavirus.
Trevor Nyakane, who has been in close contact with Mohoje, has been withdrawn as a precaution.
The world champions have an expanded squad in Cape Town.
