Andries Bekker injured for Wallabies Test

[nickdnz]

Springboks lock Andries Bekker has been ruled out out of Saturday's Tri-Nations rugby test against Australia in Brisbane with a back injury.
Bekker suffered an acute disc injury towards the end of the test against the All Blacks in Wellington at the weekend, won 31-17 by New Zealand.
He underwent an MRI scan in Brisbane this morning, and will see a specialist for treatment on his return to South Africa.
Springboks coach Peter de Villiers said the injury to Bekker was "unfortunate".
"It is a setback but we will have to deal with it. That is part of the game. We have to rely on the strength within our squad for the test.
"It is a blow for Andries too as he was just coming back from a previous injury."
The remainder of the South African squad is clear of injury, de Villiers said.

Bad luck seems to haunt SA

You make your own luck. It's our coaching staff that's haunting us. A team made up of both Super 14 finalists, yet they are suddenly jaded and all off-form. That says a lot about the coaching staff, and that players are not happy about something.

True, well hopefully you guys sort out the mess PDV is creating before the WC starts.
