Sharks centre, Andre Esterhuizen and Lions lock Marvin Orie, are set to join the Springbok squad in Auckland, New Zealand, where the South Africans are preparing for their final match of the Rugby Championship.

It takes place next Saturday against Argentina in Salta.

Esterhuizen and Orie were in the Bok team that beat the Wallabies in Johannesburg two weeks ago.

Orie was on Currie Cup duty for the Golden Lions on Saturday.

The Boks are still in New Zealand as they opted to stay put after their draw against New Zealand on the weekend, rather than endure a long haul flight back to Johannesburg and then another one onto Argentina via Brazil.

The squad has transferred to Auckland and will fly to Argentina in two batches over the coming weekend.

A bonus-point win over the Pumas will seal the Rugby Championship campaign for the South Africans for the first time since 2009.
