Jesse Kriel ruled out of 2nd test

After receiving a head knock in South Africa's first of three tests against France, Jesse Kriel, has been ruled of the 2nd test this weekend. 

Kriel started the match but was substituted in 15minutes into the second half to have an HIA test. He failed to return to the field and has been ruled out with a concussion.

Springbok head coach has suggested that Lionel Mapoe is likely to replace Kriel in the starting line up for the 2nd test in Durban. 

Mapoe missed the first Test after failing to recover from a hamstring injury. Mapeo has completed his final phase of rehab and has returned to full fitness this week.
