Springbok’s Dyantyi under injury threat | SABC News – Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

The 2018 World Rugby Breakthrough Player of the Year Aphiwe Dyantyi has been released back to the Lions as he deals with his hamstring injury.

The Boks have been together as a training group for three weeks already, hard at work ahead of the Rugby Championship and then the World Cup in September. They’re trying to control what they can, because, they are without their captain, Siya Kolisi, who is still recovering from injury, and they’re trying to manage player workloads, so they can hit the ground running come Saturday.

It’s all about planning, and this is when squad rotation comes into play and with it opportunities for players who are further down the pecking order to get a run. Player management is one thing the Boks are also trying to handle as best they can, a group of players will leave later this week for New Zealand, the Boks won’t say when, to be fresh for their World Cup group opponents on the 27th of this month.
