The World Cup-winning Springboks are only likely to all be back for their Vodacom United Rugby Championship franchises by the end of the month, and in some cases only in December.
The Sharks are without a win after three games overseas, while the Vodacom Bulls became the first South African team to win abroad this weekend. The DHL Stormers won in Johannesburg and at home before going down to Glasgow Warriors this past weekend. The Vodacom Bulls are in a similar position, although coach Jake White said that much would depend on the way they go in the remainder of their tour games, after picking up a win at Zebre Parma on Saturday.The Pretoria side will have the likes of Willie le Roux, Kurt-Lee Arendse, Canan Moodie and Marco van Staden available for them and the plan is to have them firing by the time they take on Saracens on 10 December at Loftus Versfeld.
“Who knows, maybe we might leave the Boks out. They’ve got a compulsory three-week time off, and then when we get back, they’ll join our squad. If we’ve got momentum, I might give them another week off.”What is most likely is that team form and individual requirements may be key to their return. This week already saw the news that Bok lock RG Snyman may miss a fair portion of the season for champions Munster as he will undergo shoulder surgery for an injury picked up in the World Cup win.
