The Springboks have been dealt another blow ahead of this weekend’s all important Rugby Championship clash against the All Blacks in Albany.

The live-wire Springbok flank, Jaco Kriel, has been sent home due to a shoulder injury.

This is the second major blow for the team after Coenie Oosthuizen was replaced after breaking his arm against the Wallabies in Perth.

No replacement will be named to link up with the Springboks.

Meanwhile, the coach, Allister Coetzee, says accuracy will be of vital importance against the All Blacks.

Saturday’s Test at the QBE Stadium in Albany kicks off at 9:35.
