Erasmus said after the Argentina match that they would be assessing the squad and gearing up for the first Test at Ellis Park next weekend as soon as they landed back in South Africa.“So in the next two weeks we’ll have to look at our injuries and then we’ll pick the team that we hope can try and beat New Zealand in the first Test match.”
