Bath's fly-half Butch James is missing from the South Africa bench for this week's Tri-Nations clash against Australia in Bloemfontein.
The 40-cap star was one of three Springbok players who picked up injuries in the win over the Wallabies last weekend.
Jannie du Plessis and Flip van der Merwe were also carrying knocks, though the former is in the XV and van der Merwe is named among the replacements.
Danie Roussouw replaces van der Merwe in the only change to the starting side while James' place on the bench goes to Gio Aplon.
