Thomas du Toit was en route from France to Nagoya, Japan, on Monday after being called up as an injury replacement to the Springbok Rugby World Cup squad.

The 24-yearold Cell C Sharks prop replaces the unfortunate Trevor Nyakane who tore his right calf in the 23-13 defeat by New Zealand in Yokohama on Saturday night.

Du Toit, who was on a short-term loan to Toulouse, was on standby and had been involved in preparations right up until the team’s departure for Japan.

He is expected to join the squad in Nagoya on Tuesday afternoon.

“It’s very tough on Trevor,” said Rassie Erasmus, director of rugby. “He has had a great season and added value whenever he took the field. It’s a blow to him and the team, but it’s also an opportunity for Thomas and for Vincent [Koch] who now have the chance to step up.”

The Springboks continue their Rugby World Cup campaign against neighbours Namibia in Nagoya on Saturday (kick off 11h45 SA time).

Ek dink Thomas is daar as 'n loskop, stem saam dat hy nie 'n goeie vaskop is nie

It will be up to Malherbe and Koch to fill the no 3 slot. Du Toit is far better as a loosehead. That he can play tighthead is a bonus, but I agree you with you guys. The Tank is really low down the pecking order of no 3's available in SA.

Malherbe and Koch aren't much better. Malherbe was better on Saturday.
