“He’s got a back spasm. Apparently, he got it in the warm-up. I told him if he gets a back spasm and scores 40 metre tries he can do it every weekend,” White jokingly said.
“Again it’s precautionary. When he said his back was a bit sore, I didn’t want a guy to get a referred [pain] like tearing a hamstring etc, so I took him off.
“The doctor reckons he’ll be fine if he does the right treatments for the next two weeks.
“Someone asked me if not playing next week is a blessing, on a guy like that it’s fantastic that we get another week to get our squad ready [for the quarterfinals].”
