South Africa scrum-half Fourie du Preez has been ruled out of this weekend's rugby union international against Scotland here at Murrayfield, South Africa Rugby announced Thursday.
Du Preez, 26, injured a quadriceps muscle in training and his place in the starting XV for Saturday's match will be taken by Ricky Januarie.
Meanwhile, Januarie's spot on the world champions' bench has been handed to utility forward Danie Rossouw.
Earlier this week Springbok coach Peter de Villiers announced an unchanged side from the one that beat Wales 20-15 in Cardiff last weekend.

Conrad Jantjes; JP Pietersen, Adrian Jacobs, Jean de Villiers, Bryan Habana; Ruan Pienaar, Ricky Januarie; Pierre Spies, Juan Smith, Schalk Burger; Victor Matfield, Bakkies Botha; John Smit (capt), Bismarck du Plessis, Beast Mtawarira
