Fran Steyn out of RWC

Word is that today SA will confirm that Fran Steyn is out of the RWC with a shoulder injury - is this a defining moment for SA at this RWC?

too right it is, their most destructive back. had ousted de villiers from a solid partnership and looked good. Shame for him and the Boks

Of all the damn serious injuries we could get this is not one we needed.

Count yourself lucky Biltong, looks like we could lose McCaw and Carter.

McCalw doesn't seem able to string together consecutive test matches due to the screw in his foot, even if he comes back for the Qfinal...will he make three consecuitive knock outs? and Carter's serial slew of injuries is just getting ridiculous.

no doubt both will make a sudden and swift recovery in about 72hrs

You old cynic Gatts.

Steyn is a catastrophic blow i'm praying for a miracle right now

big blow that for SA, got to feel for the guy

Sad day for the cup-he was playing really well. Such a weapon for the Boks. Though I'm extremely worried about a couple of our weapons at the moment...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
