Jantjies' Bok dream fractured?

By
Monday 23 May 2016

Jantjies, who is a frontrunner for the Springbok No.10 jersey alongside Sharks rival Patrick Lambie for their three-Test series against Ireland in June, will see a hand surgeon on Monday to to assess the severity of the injury.

If Jantjies' is sidelined, he is likely to miss the Boks' three Tests on June 11 (at Newlands), 18 (Ellis Park) and 25 (Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium).

It's not the first time this season that Jantjies has suffered a potential season-ending injury.

The 25-year-old, capped twice by South Africa in 2012, injured his wrist earlier in the Lions' campaign; but was later cleared to continue playing, wearing a wrist guard.
