FRIDAY, 11.00AM:
SPRINGBOK scrumhalf Joost van der Westhuizen is considering leaving the Blue Bulls after playing for them for the last seven seasons, because he feels his game is suffering.
Van der Westhuizen said he is fearful of losing his Bok place ahead of the 1999 World Cup finals. “At this stage I don’t have to prove anything to the Bulls regarding my loyalty. It’s a professional game and I have to look after myself. I’m not going to lose my place in the Springbok team because of the province,” he said.
He said he would like to go to a province where he can play and enjoy his rugby. “At this stage there are a few options, but I’m not going to mention any,” he said.
