Springbok lock Botha fit to face Wales

Bakkies Botha has been named in a full-strength South Africa XV for Saturday’s Test against Wales in Cardiff.

Lock Botha was expected to miss the game due to a lack of match fitness but will start at the Millennium Stadium.

Tendai Mtawarira will partner Bismarck du Plessis and captain John Smit in the front row while Pierre Spies is preferred to Ryan Kankowski at number eight.
