Steyn is still nursing a groin injury and a call on his availability will be made tomorrow morning.

The 21-year-old Pretorius will be the direct opposition to Steyn if the latter gets the green-light to play, however, they have never played against each other.

The former Grey College school captain, Pretorius, says Steyn has always been a player he has looked up to.

“He was also in Grey College. He name was on my board in the change room, so he is a guy that I’ve always looked up to.

“For me to play against Frans is going to be a big challenge. That is the game that you want to play in, because if you want to become a Springbok who have to be able to compete against the best.

“For me it will be a big challenge if he gets to play.”

Steyn will be receiving treatment for his injury until Wednesday, and a final call on his availability will only be made on Thursday morning.

Both teams will be named tomorrow and Saturday’s match at Newlands kicks off at 19:00.
