Wellington - Injuries to a number of key players has forced South Africa to postpone their team announcement ahead of Sunday's quarter-final against Australia.

Bryan Habana, JP Pietersen and Francois Hougaard are all injury concerns after picking up knocks in the hard-fought win over Samoa last Friday.

As a result, the Bok management have pushed back naming their side to 07:00 on Friday, New Zealand time (20:00 on Thursday, SA time).

Pietersen is the least likely to be fit due to a knee injury while Habana has a haematoma and Hougaard is recovering from blow to the head.
