MARKRAM MAY BE OUT OF SUPER 12

UTILITY back Robert Markram, one of last year’s rising rugby stars, may have broken his jaw on Wednesday night and could miss the start of the Super 12. He was taken to hospital with a suspected broken jaw after being injured in the Western Stormers warm-up game against Boland XV in Paarl. Markram was one of the finds of last year and his blistering pace and silky ball skills earned him a spot in the Springbok mid-week side in last year’s Grand Slam tour.
