D-Day for Chiliboy

Bulls hooker, Chiliboy Ralephele, will know today whether he'll be fit to take part in the Springboks' opening three tests of the year if he's selected.

Ralephele underwent knee surgery and will get an update from a specialist on his progress this afternoon. He didn't play any Super 14 rugby this season but was identified by former Bok coach Jake White as the team's future leader. He's been a succesful captain for South Africa's age-group sides.
