LONDON (Reuters) -South Africa have included experienced lock Lood de Jager in their squad for their decisive Rugby Championship match against Argentina at Twickenham on Saturday after Franco Mostert did not travel with the group due to a family bereavement.

De Jager was injured in the record 43-10 victory over New Zealand in Wellington this month, but has been passed fit to play. Coach Rassie Erasmus will name his team on Tuesday.
