No rest for some of the Boks

There will be no rest for a number of Rugby Championship winning Springboks as they are set to be thrown straight into the United Rugby Championship (URC) mix for their franchises this coming weekend.

The Stormers and Bulls, who depart on three-match overseas tours, have already confirmed that they will be linking up with most of their Boks in the UK, and some of them could slot straight in for their games this weekend.

The Lions only have one Bok in the current squad, Morne van den Berg, and the Sharks have a whole host of Boks, but neither have said whether they will link up with them for their final tour match, or if they have been sent back to SA to rest ahead of their next two home games in the competition.
