SNYMAN OUT FOR REST OF SEASON

SPRINGBOK centre Andre Snyman will probably miss the rest of the season after suffering a dislocated fracture of his right ankle in a club match between DHS Old Boys and Harlequins as a curtain raiser to the Super 12 match between the Sharks and the Stromers in Durban on Saturday. Snyman picked up exactly the same injury last year in the Tri-Nations — only on the opposite ankle — and missed the rest of the season. The former Blue Bulls centre was making his comeback since moving to the Durban team and missing the Super 12 through injury. Snyman has flown to Johannesburg to have corrective surgery performed on the ankle.
