Springboks loose forward Francois Louw. Photo: Getty ImagesFrancois Louw has returned to the Springboks as an emergency call-up to face New Zealand at Loftus Versfeld. South Africa coach Rassie Erasmus again preferred Steven Kitshoff to veteran Tendai Mtawarira at loosehead, as he did last month when South Africa upset the All Blacks with a 36-34 victory in Wellington. Mtawarira started last week against Australia in Port Elizabeth with Kitshoff replacing him in the second half. Notshe played well against the Wallabies last weekend and will offer us something different when he goes on, but Flo (Louw) has a lot of experience and is good on the ground,” said Erasmus.
