South Africa captain Siya Kolisi remains a doubt for the first Test against New Zealand, though Rassie Erasmus is hopeful the Springboks skipper will be able to feature.
Kolisi sustained a hamstring injury in the win over Argentina, having already missed his side's Nations Championship fixtures in July, but has returned to training in recent days. The flanker could come under consideration for selection, with Erasmus delaying the naming of his team until Thursday to deny the All Blacks the chance to prepare.
Erasmus believes both Kolisi and prop Ox Nche may play a role at Ellis Park. "I wouldn't say Siya and Ox are still injured, it's just niggles," he said. "And if they get through training today, they might be good for us."
The All Blacks have won all three tour games since arriving in South Africa but have injury doubts of their own, with scrum-half Noah Hotham called up as cover for Cam Roigard and Cortez Ratima.
