Bok lifeline for Brussow?

Cape Town - Flank Heinrich Brussow could be a surprise inclusion when Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer names a 40-man squad for the upcoming Rugby Championship.

Despite currently being laid low by an arm injury, Brussow could be included when Meyer names his squad on Sunday, Netwerk24 reports.

Despite being invited to various Bok training camps in recent years, Brussow has never played a Test under Meyer as coach, with the last of his 20 internationals coming against Australia at the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
