Dreyer to join the Boks in Italy | News Article

Lions prop, Ruan Dreyer has been called up to the Springbok team ahead of this weekends’ third test on their end-of-year-tour.

Dreyer comes in as cover for injured tighthead, Jannie du Plessis who limped off the field at Twickenham during the Springboks 31-28 win over England.
 
Speaking at the post-match press conference, coach Heyneke Meyer confirmed that Du Plessis is doubtful for this weeks’ game against the Azzuri.
 
"Jannie will probably not be ready this weekend and Gurthrö Steenkamp is not available to face Wales next week so we've decided to bring Ruan in," said Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer.
 
"Ruan has been very good this season and played an integral role in the Lions' strong performances in the scrum. This presents a great opportunity to work with him."
 
Saturdays afternoons’ Test against Italy in Padova kicks off at 16:00.
