Two standby forwards are set to join the Springbok squad in Europe on Sunday ahead of next Saturday’s Test against Ireland in Dublin.
According to Rapport, Bongi Mbonambi has been called up to link with the team.
The experienced hooker recently turned out for the Barbarians against an All Blacks XV in London.

Erasmus is also expected to bring in a tighthead prop, with Neethling Fouché tipped as the frontrunner.
Fouché’s call-up prospects have improved following an injury to seasoned tighthead Vincent Koch, who is expected to be sidelined for up to a month.
