Giant lock Andries Bekker could be one of the surprise callups to the Springbok World Cup squad to be named later this year. Coach Heyneke Meyer has been in contact with Bekker, who gave up on his Test career almost three years ago when he moved to Japan.The pair are scheduled to meet in Cape Town today and the outcome of their discussions will be interesting as the No5 lock position is one that constantly concerns the Bok coach; Victor Matfield, 38, is still favourite come September's World Cup, while understudy Pieter-Steph du Toit is currently out injured.In all, 44 players gathered for the second of the Boks' pre-season training camps yesterday.Du Toit's chances of making it to the showpiece are still in the balance after an injury-plagued 12 months and the news that Bekker is reconsidering his Test future could be good news for the Springboks.Said Meyer: "Players need to show that they are willing to die to play for the Springboks and the country. It's not always the best players but the players who are willing to put it all on the line and are hungry to win the World Cup."Bekker, 31, left South Africa in late 2012 after a series of back injuries that stemmed from overuse. He was disgruntled with the way he was managed at the Stormers but his Japanese contract made it difficult, though not impossible, to play Test rugby.But it seems that Bekker is ready to reconsider and add to his 29 Test caps if the Boks come calling.Meyer also said that he had spoken to lock Flip van der Merwe, who sat out the first Bok training camp for personal reasons, and that he was ready to return to the squad if called up.Meyer also did not rule out the possibility of controversial utility back Frans Steyn making a late surge for a place, although his current injury has come at a bad time.There was a light field session for those players fit enough to take part, but Meyer said the purpose of the exercise was to ensure that nothing is left to chance.Meyer said: "It's easy to judge a player by watching him on TV. By seeing them up close and talking to them in one-on-one sessions you get a sense of their skill levels and mental make-up. It's also about giving fringe players hope."..
