JOHN DOBSON’S INJURY UPDATE AFTER THE GAME
“He’s in a brace and hasn’t been scanned yet, but I don’t see that being a quick turnaround,” Dobson said after the game.
“It looks like a ligament, possibly medial. Hopefully it’s not an ACL, but it’s serious enough to keep him out for a while,” he continued, sceptical and hoping for the best.
WILL COBUS REINACH BE READY FOR THE SPRINGBOKS’ COMING FIXTURES?
Now that Cobus Reinach has revealed that he did not suffer an ACL injury, the optimism grows. With the next Springboks match coming on 4 July against England, Cobus has the chance.
Even if he misses the first few matches, Rugby Culture Club understand that he will be available for the New Zealand games in August.
