The Boks are back in town
"Heyneke! Welcome home." "Victor! May I please have your autograph?" "What a game Duane! We are so proud!"
Rugby fans gave the Springboks a warm welcome on Sunday as the Boks arrived at Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport. After last year’s successful tour in the province, the Springboks are back for more.
The Boks defeated Wales 38-16 in the first of two tests in the Castle Lager Incoming Series at Growthpoint Kings Park on Saturday. The Green and Gold will take on the Dragons again on Saturday June 21 at 15:00 at Mbombela Stadium.
A team of 34 got off flight SA8508. Bryan Habana is due to arrive later this week and Flip van der Merwe on Monday. Juan de Jongh suffers from a flue, and will not be joining the Boks for training this week.
More information on injuries will be made available later this week, but Meyer indicated that Johan Goosen (knee) and Bakkies Botha (achilles) left the field in discomfort.
Fans are invited to attend the Boks’ training session on Tuesday at 15:00. Tickets for Saturday’s match are still available at the stadium or at Computicket.
