JOHANNESBURG, (Reuters) - South Africa flyhalf Pat Lambie will not be available for the third test against Ireland in Port Elizabeth due to concussion, the South African Rugby Union (SARU) said on Sunday.

Lambie was knocked out by a high tackle early in the first test when Ireland beat the Springboks 26-20 in Cape Town, ruling him out of Saturday’s second match at Ellis Park which South Africa won 32-26.
