Springboks welcome back fit-again Marx and Kolisi

Springbok hooker Malcolm Marx and flanker Siya Kolisi will return to the training field on Monday as the team begins their preparations for the last Outgoing Tour match against Wales in Cardiff on Saturday.

Marx sat out of the previous Test against Italy as a precautionary measure after he picked up a shoulder injury against France in Paris, while Kolisi was in South Africa for the birth of his second child. He re-joined the squad on Sunday.

Forwards Francois Louw, Duane Vermeulen and Franco Mostert, who are all based overseas, are not available for the fixture because it falls outside of the international window.

This comes after the news that Thomas du Toit will join the squad as injury replacement for prop Tendai Mtawarira, who sustained a groin injury in the second half of the Italian clash in Padova, which forced him off the field.

The Springboks will announce their match 23 to face Wales on Thursday.
