Springboks
Bakkies Botha and Victor Matfield are injured ahead of Sunday’s opening game against Wales.
News from Adidas New Zealand is that Bakkies will more than likely miss the game with an ankle injury. The prognosis is better for Matfield, who is struggling with a hamstring strain.
Willem Alberts and Johan Muller trained yesterday as the lock pairing.
The “coaching” team has delayed the naming of the starting squad until Friday in the hope that both will have recovered by then.
Why no Danie at 4?
News is that Habana is also carrying a hamstring injury but should be ok to play.
News reports and other web pages say that Roussouw will partner Victor, and that Bakkies is the main worry at the moment
