SPRINGBOK South African flanker Corne Krige may be out for the remainder of 1999 after suffering a knee injury early in the first half of Saturday’s test defeat by the All Blacks in Dunedin. The Springboks were beaten 28-0. Krige, 24, had to come off after just 10 minutes. Team officials said it looked as if the injury was serious enough for him to be in doubt for October’s World Cup. The news was an additional worry for coach Nick Mallett whose 1999 squad has already been badly hit by injuries and in recent weeks has struggled to cope with the intensely competitive international season building up to the World Cup. Krige made a big impression on his Test debut a month ago when he came on as captain in the second test against Italy when the Springboks romped home 101-0. His replacement on Saturday, Andre Vos, is also now in doubt. He played the bulk of the second half with badly bruised ribs and may not be fit for next weekend’s clash with Australia at Brisbane.
