Springbok wing Bryan Habana will miss Saturday’s Tri-Nations match against Australia after failing a fitness test on an injured hamstring on Monday.
Habana limped off the field during South Africa’s 19-0 loss to New Zealand last Saturday.
Coach Peter de Villiers told reporters he would decide whether or not to replace Habana in the squad on Tuesday.
New Zealand head the Tri-Nations table with 14 points followed by Australia on nine. World champions South Africa have five. — Reuters
