Leopards flyhalf to Junior Boks' rescue

Wednesday 22 Jun 2016

Janse van Rensburg will depart for Manchester on Wednesday and is set to join the team on Thursday after wing S’busiso Nkosi and scrumhalf Embrose Papier were forced to return to South Africa with a thigh and ankle injury respectively.

The team will also be without the captain Jeremy Ward, who received a yellow card for a dangerous tackle on England fullback Max Malins in the semi-final match.

Ward was subsequently cited for breaching Law 10.4(e) and Law 10.4(i) relating to tackling a player dangerously and in the air.

He will appear before a disciplinary committee at Wednesday. Mike Hamlin has been appointed independent Judicial Officer.

The outcome of the hearing is expected to be announced on Thursday.

While Theron will name his team to face Argentina on Friday.
