Smit out, Cassiem recalled

Flank Roelof Smit has been ruled out for the rest of the Springbok tour after sustaining an injury in training, reports JON CARDINELLI in London.

Eben’s English move a go

Mediocre Boks lack fear factor

The Springboks need to find their mojo fast if they’re to challenge a combative England at Twickenham and regain the respect of the greater rugby community, writes JON CARDINELLI.
