South Africa prop BJ Botha has been ruled out of the World Cup after damaging knee ligaments in the Springboks' 64-15 win over the USA last night.

Botha will be replaced in the South Africa squad later this week by Jannie Du Plessis, who made his Test debut during this year's Tri-Nations.

The Springboks face Fiji in the World Cup quarter-final in Marseille on Saturday.
