Free State Cheetahs prop Trevor Nyakane will link up with the Springbok squad ahead of the Castle Lager Incoming Series against Wales and Scotland, SA Rugby (Saru) said on Sunday.
Nyakane who played all three of his tests for the Springboks last June will join the group as an additional member.
“Trevor is a player who we identified last year already as someone who can play at the highest level,” said Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer.
“He’s currently not the first-choice in his position for the Cheetahs and we’re thankful that they granted us this opportunity to pull Trevor into the squad.
“As the Cheetahs are on a break from Super Rugby at the moment, we want to use this opportunity to work with Trevor, keep him up to date with our playing structures and, most importantly, spend time on his conditioning and other aspects considering the Springbok ethos.”
