Mvovo recalled to South Africa squad for Australasia tour

Mvovo replaced Ruan Combrink after he was ruled out for six weeks having fractured his fibula in the 26-24 loss to Argentina in Salta on Saturday.

Scrumhalf Francois Hougaard, named in the squad for the Southern Hemisphere championship but not considered for the two matches against Argentina due to a knee injury, has also rejoined the squad.

Flyhalf Elton Jantjies left the field early in the second half in Salta with a bruised thigh muscle but has been cleared to tour, though he remains a doubt for the test against Australia in Brisbane on Sept. 10.

The Springboks travel to Christchurch to face tournament leaders New Zealand a week later.
