SARFU SAYS VENTER CAN’T PLAY

THE South African Rugby Football Unions’ Management Committee has reaffirmed that AJ Venter is not allowed to take part in any rugby until his contractual wrangle is resolved.

Sarfu responded to Venter’s inclusion in the Sharks Rugby Super 12 team to play Border in a warm-up game in East London on Saturday.

The contractual dispute between the Golden Lions and Venter will be heard in court on February 8.

When the Super 12 squads on January 17 were announced, Sarfu said that Venter won’t be included in either the Cats or Sharks squads until the issues around his contract was resolved.
