Blitzbok head coach Philip Snyman will only name the replacement for Oosthuizen, who has played in 51 world series tournaments, on Thursday, but he did add four players to the squad that will prepare for the weekend's showpiece at DHL Stadium.

Mfundo Ndhlovu, Gino Cupido, Rowan Malgas and Zander Reynders, who all formed part of the Springbok Sevens 'A' squad who won their tournament under the Shogun banner in Dubai last weekend, have been added to the group. Having lost an experienced campaigner such as Oosthuizen will add more pressure on the other regulars in the squad, especially as Selvyn Davids and Ronald Brown are also still out with injuries, but  Blitzboks Flyhalf Dewald Human says he will be ready to go again, as he did in Dubai last weekend.
