Pollard, Cronje and Leyds back in Springbok squad

Experienced flyhalf Handré Pollard, scrumhalf Ross Cronje and utility back Dillyn Leyds have been included in the Springbok touring squad for the Australasian leg of the Rugby Championship as coach Allister Coetzee opted for continuity.

Pollard has successfully completed his ankle injury rehabilitation and was selected in the place of Curwin Bosch.

Cronje missed the trip to Salta but has recovered from his ankle injury and can be considered for the Test against Australia in Perth next Saturday.

Leyds, who covers wing and fullback, is back in the squad in the place of centre Francois Venter.

Venter, Bosch and Jano Vermaak have all been released back to their respective provinces.
