Eben out of Italy Test

Eben Etzebeth has been ruled out of this Saturday's Test against Italy due to concussion.

The lock was taken from the field with concussion in Saturday's 37-21 loss to England at Twickenham after colliding with big No 8 Billy Vunipola.

The Springboks confirmed that Etzebeth would not be replaced in the squad, with Pieter-Steph du Toit likely to revert back to the second row, while Franco Mostert provides further lock cover.
