Concern over SA rugby

The Springbok rugby selectors are dissatisfied with the performance of some of South Africa's top players in the Super 14 series. With the series rapidly coming to and end, there is no certainty that any South African team will qualify for a semi-final berth. Volksblad reports the Crusaders from New Zealand and the Waratahs of Australia have already booked their places in the semis. The convenor of the Bok selection committee Peter Jooste says some of the players are not producing the goods and this makes their task much more difficult. The selectors therefore intend inviting between 40 and 45 players to a training camp from the 17th of next month.
