Boks suffer Beast blow

Boks suffer Beast blow

10 Nov 2012

Beast Mtawarira has been forced to withdraw from the Springboks’ Test against Ireland because of heart palpitations.

The Springbok management confirmed this on Saturday afternoon, several hours before kick-off in Dublin. Mtawarira, who was treated for the condition by a Cape Town specialist earlier this year, suffered a recurrence of the problem at the team hotel.

He was admitted to hospital for further tests and subsequently discharged, although the Bok management reiterated that he would not be available for the Test against Ireland.

A decision on his availability for the remainder of the tour will be made once there is clarity around the seriousness of his condition.

Mtawarira’s withdrawal has seen CJ van der Linde promoted to the starting side. Leinster prop Heinke van der Merwe, who only joined the squad on Wednesday, has been included among the reserves.

    Strange that no one picked JC Janse v Rensburg for their super 15 team. He is possibly the best srummaging loosehead in South Africa. Also a good leader.

    @ryecatcher-56: Afraid skop isn’t. We are evolutionary omnivores. I know the literature very well and know some of the palaeoanthropologists who have worked and are working on ancient human diets – my archaeological research is on a different subject but I have a related background in Middle Stone Age research.

    @ryecatcher-97:
    i dont think the majority of religious folks will mind this sort of talk.
    perhaps muslims and those israel based conservative jews would but for the rest it is just mildly mocking.
    worse has been said and done :lol:

    @BrumbiesBoy-98:
    ja thanks, and the same to you.

    wait a minute… what do you mean the ‘the main game starts at 22:00′..?

    jy het my gekul, meneer :lol:
