Jantjes joins Boks’ injury list

CONRAD JANTJES leads a worrying injury list for South Africa ahead of next month’s British and Irish Lions tour to the country.

The Stormers full-back, who was the main contender to wear the number 15 jersey, broke his leg during a Super 14 clash against the Chiefs at the weekend and has been ruled out for rest of the year.

“It is always upsetting when a player that is in the driving seat is injured,” said national coach Peter de Villiers. “The loss of Conrad is a blow to us and especially for him as it rules him out for some time.”
