Four more worries for Boks

June 29 2009

Du Preez: Will he join sidelined Burger and Botha?

Having already lost the suspended Schalk Burger and Bakkies Botha ahead of the third Lions Test, South Africa could be without four more players in Jo'burg this Saturday.

The quartet of Danie Rossouw, Andries Bekker, Jean de Villiers and Fourie du Preez are currently nursing respective injuries following their 28-25 victory in Pretoria.

Back-row forward Rossouw is being monitored after taking a bang to his head following a collision with Lions centre Brian O'Driscoll, while Botha's prospective lock replacement Bekker is nursing a knee injury.

Centre De Villiers and scrum-half Du Preez, are nursing shoulder problems, although both are expected to be available for the series finale.
