Fullback Willie le Roux has been ruled out of the Springboks’ Rugby Championship Test against the Wallabies in Cape Town on Saturday.

Aphelele Fassi will wear the No 15 jersey after Le Roux was forced to withdraw due to a niggle.

The 36-year-old, who became the eighth Bok to feature in 100 Tests earlier this season, suffered the injury at training earlier this week.

Fassi started last week’s Test against the Wallabies at Ellis Park.
