(Reuters) - South Africa coach Rassie Erasmus has recalled hooker Johan Grobbelaar but left several World Cup winners at home as the Springboks go to Argentina for their potentially decisive Rugby Championship test in Santiago on Sept. 21.
Erasmus said after Saturday's 18-12 victory over New Zealand in Cape Town that took his side to the cusp of a first Rugby Championship title win since 2019, that he would split his squad in two, with a group of players staying in South Africa for the home test with Argentina a week later.
