RUGBY NEWS - Springbok scrumhalf Ross Cronjé will miss the third and final Castle Lager Incoming Series test against France on Saturday because of delayed concussion symptoms, the Springbok management confirmed on Tuesday.
Cronjé made his South African debut two weeks ago in Pretoria and followed up on his impressive performance with another very good showing in the Durban test last Saturday, where the Springboks clinched the three-match series.
“Ross showed delayed symptoms of concussion on Monday and he will not be able to get through the recovery protocols in time for him to be considered for selection. We withdrew him from training yesterday and he will rest for the duration of the week,” explains the Springbok team doctor, Dr Konrad von Hagen.
