The physical encounter with Samoa has left Jake White with a few injury worries leading into the Tri-Nations game this Saturday.
Enrico Januarie (knee), Luke Watson (rib), Ashwin Willemse (hand),Wayne Julies (bump on head) and John Smit (blood) all had to leave the field this past Saturday and will be undergoing medical tests today to determine the damage. Add to the list Fourie du Preez (shoulder), Bryan Habana (knee) and Andre Pretorius (hamstring/buttock) and it starts getting worrying.
Enrico Januarie is likely to be out for up to 4 weeks with his knee injury. Fourie du Preez should be available for the second Tri-Nations Test on the 23rd of June. Luke Watson, Andre Pretorius and Bryan Habana will be monitored closely by the medical staff and reassessed before the Springboks go to Australasia.
