Springbok flyhalf Elton Jantjies faces a second scandal this year after being sent home from Argentina following revelations of an affair with a staff member.
Elton Jantjies’ career is unravelling at an alarming rate. The World Cup winner was on Sunday sent home from Argentina after revelations of an affair with a member of the Springbok management emerged in a Sunday newspaper., Jantjies spent several nights in two luxury guest houses in and around Mbombela with Bok nutritionist Zeenat Simjee.
“No team protocols were breached, but the individuals are returning to South Africa to attend to these personal reports and to eliminate any distractions to the team’s preparations for the Test against Argentina.”How no team protocols were breached, yet the pair were sent home, is odd. Although they were not conducting their alleged affair in the official Bok hotel the fact that Saru has ejected them from the squad implies they broke protocols.
Following their stay, Jantjies left without paying a R26,000 bill to the second establishment. Only after the management complained to Saru was the account later settled.
