Springbok star Pieter-Steph du Toit will recover from a midweek head injury and be available for the first Test against the British and Irish Lions, SA Rugby director of rugby Rassie Erasmus said on Thursday. "Not allowing Pieter-Steph to return was a precautionary measure," stressed Erasmus. "We thought it would be stupid to let him back on the park when we know the real Test match is only 10 days away. "He will definitely be fit when the real one starts," said Erasmus, referring to the three-Test series on consecutive Saturdays from July 24. Saturday's Stormers v Lions match at Cape Town Stadium kicks off at 18:00.
