Jean’s real race begins

Springbok captain Jean de Villiers beat the odds to recover from a ‘car-crash’ knee injury, but is still in a race to regain his previous form in the lead-up to the World Cup. JON CARDINELLI reports.

Jean could face World XV

Jean de Villiers is set to return to the playing field for the Springboks against the World XV at Newlands on 11 July.

The Springboks of today aren’t much bigger than the team that won the 1995 World Cup. Bar Jonah Lomu, the 1995 All Blacks are smaller than their contemporaries in every position. JON CARDINELLI reports.
