Sept 25 (Reuters) - Winger Raymond Ruhle is not likely be dropped by South Africa despite heavy criticism after an error-ridden performance against New Zealand this month, Springbok coach Allister Coetzee said on Monday.

The Ghana-born winger missed nine tackles in the record 57-0 thrashing by the All Blacks but Coetzee will keep faith with Ruhle for Saturday’s penultimate match in this year’s Rugby Championship against Australia in Bloemfontein.
