The good news came through to SA Rugby chief executive Jurie Roux late yesterday from Minister of Sport Nathi Mthethwa, who has rubber-stamped a return to competitive action subject to compliance with measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
However, it is going to take time for the players to get used to taking full physical contact and that means the previously planned start date of the first weekend in September will now be pushed out by a week or two. “Since the start of this pandemic, we have been working hard at ensuring we get back on the field and we’ve kept the Government informed on our plans throughout the process,” said Roux.
