'Mad dog' Maddocks trying not to think about World Cup - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

Maddocks won his first test cap off the bench against the All Blacks in Sydney last year.

His rollicking start to the season has put him among the players first picked by pundits tipping the make-up of Michael Cheika’s squad for Japan, but the man affectionately nicknamed “Mad Dog” is determined not to get ahead of himself. Despite his personal breakthrough, it was a grim start to his international career, with the team losing six of those matches and nine out of 13 for the season.
