Springboks sweat over Marx & Etzebeth's fitness

Springbok hooker Malcolm Marx will go for an MRI scan today after receiving a blow to his shoulder in Paris on Saturday.

Marx and Bok captain Eben Etzebeth (lower leg injury) had x-rays on Sunday to determine the severity of injuries sustained in the 18-17 win over France.

'Eben and Malcolm’s x-rays were both normal. However, Malcolm will go for a MRI scan on Monday to further investigate his injury,' explained Bok doctor Konrad von Hagen.

Meanwhile, flank and vice-captain Siya Kolisi returned home on Sunday as his wife Rachel will give birth to their second child in the coming week. Afterwards, he will return to the touring party and will be available for the last match of the tour against Wales in Cardiff.
