Rassie Erasmus says the Boks’ giant lock will miss seven to 10 days of training with a shoulder injury.
SOUTH AFRICA STAR Eben Etzebeth will be sidelined for up to 10 days but should return to Springbok training in time to face Ireland at Stade de France on Saturday week.
Erasmus confirmed that Etzebeth would have been rested for the Springboks’ next pool game, against Romania on Sunday, but added that it will “still be a blow not to have him train for seven to 10 days.” Meanwhile, France booker Julien Marchand will remain in the hosts’ squad despite a left-hamstring injury suffered in their curtain-raising 27-13 victory over New Zealand on Friday.
