Bakkies Botha’s chronic Achilles’ tendon problem flared up once again at training earlier this week. It now looks like he will almost certainly miss South Africa’s rugby World Cup opener against Wales on Sunday. There is also an injury concern over winger Brian Habana, who also had not taken a full part in training this week.

Such a pity Bernard Swart from Paarl Gimnasium isn’t old enough to replace one of them yet. Check out his amazing 65 meter penalty kick below. He kicked the ball from behind his own 10m line to win it for Paarl Gym recently. The final score was Outeniqua Primary’s 14 to Paarl Gym’s 15 points.
