Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber says Sharks scrumhalf Jaden Hendrikse has been more a victim of circumstance than anything after he was omitted from the team to play Argentina in South Africa's final game before the Rugby World Cup squad is announced next Tuesday.
The Springbok team to take on Argentina in Buenos Aires on Saturday shows 13 changes from the one that scraped a win over the Pumas by a point at Ellis Park last week.
One of the ironies of the Springboks' current mix-and-match selection strategy and the consequent iffy nature of their recent performances is that, if they could replicate the ease with which the centre combinations have gelled, there wouldn't be this headache.
Argentina fullback Juan Cruz Mallia has been cited for his aerial challenge on Springbok scrumhalf Grant Williams in Saturday's Rugby Championship encounter in Johannesburg.
Saturday's Rugby Championship outing at Ellis Park between the Springboks and Argentina was seen from a glass-half-full perspective by the respective coaches Jacques Nienaber and Michael Cheika.
Watch out world, his team might still be finding its rhythm but Pieter-Steph du Toit's is in full flow again.
Without dwelling too much on the issue, Jacques Nienaber was more than willing to concede that much of the blame for the Springboks' unconvincing 22-21 Rugby Championship victory over Argentina here on Saturday night lay with a mix-and-match selection strategy.
