Out-half Handre Pollard and centre Lukhanyo Am, who both suffered knee injuries in last weekend's loss to Australia, have been withdrawn from South Africa's squad for the rest of the Rugby Championship.

Am has been in stellar form over the last year and is set to be a major loss, while fellow World Cup winner Pollard will also leave a large hole in the South African out-half ranks.
