Although the Springbok management expect him to be available for the Tri-Nations Test against the Wallabies in Perth on Saturday, there is a measure of concern about the hamstring injury Springbok utility forward Danie Rossouw sustained during the team’s scrum training at the weekend.
Team doctor Craig Roberts on Monday said that Rossouw was the only concern, after both flank Juan Smith (ankle) and wing Odwa Ndungane (bruised hip) had run with the team on Monday.
They sat out last week’s training sessions in Pretoria after the Springboks reassembled for their tour to Australasia.
“Danie picked up a mild hamstring strain during the scrumming on Saturday and we’ll be managing him this week. We’ll give Danie as long as possible to recover,” Roberts said.
“He went for a scan today [Monday] and there’s no disruption, just a little bleeding in the muscle. We’ll be managing him and we’re not too concerned,” said Roberts.
Smith, who rolled his ankle against the Wallabies at Newlands two weeks ago, had his first run with the team on Monday, and Roberts said he was confident the flank will be available for Saturday’s match. Smith had not trained since the Newlands Test, but kept up well for half of Monday’s session.
Ndungane had a full practice and “will be ready for the match,” Roberts said.
