Habana fit for test in Argentina


After rolling an ankle in the first test in Cape Town, winger Bryan Habana has been declared fit for the return-leg of the Rugby Championship duel with Argentina in Mendosa on Saturday.

His inclusion means the backline is unchanged from the one that beat Argentina 27-6 at Newlands.

Upfront there are two changes and a positional shift.

Adriaan Strauss replaces the injured Bismarck du Plessis as hooker and takes over the vice-captaincy, while Jacques Potgieter is promoted from the bench to start at blindside flank.
Willem Alberts moves to No 8 with Keegan Daniel on the bench.

New alongside Daniel on the bench is Tiaan Liebenberg (hooker), who will make his Springbok Test debut if he gets game time as a replacement.

Two forwards who were doubtful earlier in the week, Andries Bekker (lock) and Marcell Coetzee (flank), both passed fitness
tests on Wednesday and have made the starting 15.
