Springbok prop Coenie Oosthuizen suffered a broken arm in Saturday’s enthralling 23-23 draw between the Springboks and the Wallabies in Perth and he will be replaced by uncapped Wilco Louw of the Western Province.
Oosthuizen sustained the injury in the second half of the thrilling encounter against Australia but returned to the field as a blood replacement later in the match.
Scans after the match revealed the injury and Oosthuizen will return to South Africa where he will visit a specialist in Durban.
Louw is due to join the Springbok squad on Monday evening in Auckland.
