COLOSSUS CARR IS JUST WHAT BOKS NEED NOW

JUST as the Springboks were slipping to their latest defeat, in Cardiff, the magnificent Nizaam Carr was 130 miles away in Coventry, highlighting the curious contradiction of South African rugby. The country has a vast depth of playing talent, much of it in exile, but a misfiring national team. On-loan Stormers No 8 Carr, along with compatriots Ashley Johnson, Juan de Jongh and Willie le Roux, helped Wasps see off Leicester at the Ricoh Arena. How the Boks need men of their calibre.
