Previous injuries: He scored a hat-trick on his Vodacom Super 12 debut against the Bulls in 2002 and was expected to be up for Springbok selection in that year but a serious knee injury forced him out for the rest of the season. He then tore knee ligaments, including the anterior cruciate ligament, in the Springboks 2003 World Cup warm-up match against Free State, and has spent most of the year out of play. (For more about anterior cruciate ligament injury, see 'Injuries to watch out for').
