Bloemfontein - Toyota Cheetahs and Springbok hooker Adriaan Strauss could become the Springboks 55th Test captain this weekend.
Current skipper captain Jean de Villiers is in doubt for Saturday’s final match of the Incoming Series against Samoa at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria.
De Villiers injured his right collarbone-joint and second rib early in last weekends’ hard-fought victory over Scotland in Nelspruit.
Apart from the injuries to De Villiers and loose forward Arno Botha, who has been ruled out of rugby for the rest of the season with a serious knee injury, there were only a few more bumps and bruises from the Scotland match.
Pierre Spies and Jannie du Plessis both sustained lacerations to the face, while Eben Etzebeth complained of mild discomfort in his AC joint.
These three players, as well Willem Alberts, did not take part in the full training session on Monday.
