Springboks add Am to World Cup squad

The Springboks have confirmed that Lukhanyo Am has been added to their World Cup squad.

The centre replaces Makazole Mapimpi, who suffered a fractured cheekbone and eye-socket in last night’s bonus point win over Tonga.

Am had been on the Boks’ stand-by list, having originally missed out on a place in the squad with a knee injury.

Gareth Anscombe will start at fly-half, Rio Dyer comes in on the wing, Tomos Williams, Dafydd Jenkins and Tommy Reffell are the other changes.

Wales need just one point to win the Pool and set up a quarter-final against Argentina or Japan.
