Springbok Habana ruled out Wallabies clash

[travelling_gerry]

South Africa winger Bryan Habana failed a fitness test on his injured hamstring on Monday and was ruled out of playing Australia this weekend in Tri-Nations rugby.

Habana limped out in the second half of the 19-0 loss to New Zealand at Cape Town on Saturday, and the Springboks said on Monday he'd be out for 10 days.

Coach Peter de Villiers said Habana's grade-one tear was a major setback.

Bad news for SA, great news for us!!

With all the politics over team make up and how many coloured players are on the team etc...will his replacement or someone else onthe team have to be a coloured player?
(Not asking to stir, I genuinely want to knwo what happens now)

Here here. Maybe he should take a leaf out Rocky Elsom's book. Didn't he play a few tests injured before finally succumbing to the injury. Percy has passed the tiara to Habana this week
