(Reuters) - South Africa utility back Damian Willemse has been ruled out of their November internationals with a groin injury and replaced in the squad by loose forward Cameron Hanekom, who earns a first call-up.
Double World Cup winner Willemse was injured in the Stormers' 28-17 loss to Glasgow Warriors in the United Rugby Championship on Saturday, having been selected in the Springbok squad to cover at flyhalf, centre and fullback.
