SKINSTAD’S BACK

WESTERN Province skipper Bobby Skinstad is likely to returns to Currie Cup rugby next Saturday in his team’s clash against Free State. Skinstad, the pretender to the Springbok captaincy, has been out for three months after injuring his knee in a car accident following a good Super 12 leading the Stormers. Many rugby commentators see the talented loose forward as the obvious successor to Gary Teichmann after the world cup.
