Springboks complete first training run
World Cup-winning lock Johann Muller and star flanker Heinrich Brussow trained on their own on Monday as the Springboks had their first field session in Australia in preparation for Saturday’s Castle Tri-Nations Test against the Wallabies in Sydney. The pair continued their rehabilitation from hamstring and knee injuries respectively as the team practiced on a dry and sunny morning at the North Sydney Oval.
All the other 26 players took a full part in the session, which Springbok coach Peter de Villiers said was designed to loosen up the players after the delayed flight to Sydney on Saturday night.
“The boys had a good run out to shake the trip out of their systems and we’re back in in the full swing now,” said De Villiers. “Johann and Heinrich are coming along nicely and we’ll give them another 24 hours before making a final decision.”
The Springboks name their team for the opening Castle Tri-Nations test of the season on Tuesday.
