Boks recall Pietersen, Fourie

5:59 am on 7 November 2013

The Springboks selectors have recalled winger JP Pietersen and centre Jaque Fourie after long absences to face Wales in Cardiff this weekend in the first test of their European tour.

Fourie has not played for the Springboks since the 2011 World Cup after deciding to continue his rugby career in Japan, while Pietersen has not featured this year.

It'll be the first match between the two sides since the pool stages of the 2011 World Cup when the Boks won 17-16.
