Cape Town - Fears of another Rugby World Cup injury blow for the Springboks have been allayed with the news that Pieter-Steph du Toit should be fit for the tournament in England.
The Sharks lock, a certain pick for the Springbok squad if fit, had surgery on his knee after limping out of the Super Rugby clash at the Cheetahs on Saturday.
There were initial fears the 22-year-old would not recover in time for the September 18-October 31 World Cup but the Sharks expect him to be playing again by the end of June.
