The extent of the injury suffered by Junior Boks centre Ethan Adams in Gqeberha has become clearer following further medical assessment.
The powerful No 12 was stretchered off during South Africa’s 29-29 draw with New Zealand at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Saturday, raising immediate concerns about his availability for the Junior World Championship.
Initial fears have since eased, with an informed source telling Netwerk24 on Monday that Adams is expected to return within four to six weeks.
FOOTE: Junior Boks showed fight, resilience
While he will miss the Junior Boks’ warm-up series in Cape Town later this month, he remains in contention for the global showpiece in Georgia, which kicks off on 29 June.
South Africa will face Chile (21 May), Fiji (26 May) and Georgia (31 May) at City Park in Athlone as part of their preparations for the Junior World Championship.
