Springbok playmaker Frans Steyn's dream of playing in a fourth World Cup may be slipping away as his knee injury is more serious than first believed.
Springbok playmaker Frans Steyn’s dream of playing in a fourth World Cup may be slipping away as his knee injury is more serious than first believed.
The two-time World Cup winner underwent knee surgery last week and according to Cheetahs coach Hawies Fourie, the 35-year-old Steyn faces up to three months on the sidelines, leaving little time to prove his match fitness when he returns.“Frans had a scope on his knee and the prognosis was worse than the doctor initially thought. It will be a substantial period on the sidelines. Our medical team believes it will be for most of the Currie Cup anyway.
“It’s my hope we can nail those fixtures down to allow him to play in them. But, at the earliest, those games would take place in August.”
