Cyle Brink to leave Springbok camp after knee injury

Cyle Brink will be leaving the Springbok camp after sustaining a knee injury in training, writes Craig Lewis for sarugbymag.

The dynamic Lions loose forward, who is yet to be capped at Test level, could be seen at the team hotel walking on crutches after the squad returned from training on Thursday.

At this point, it is not known how serious the injury is, but it’s understood that Brink will be leaving the squad to undergo further assessments.

Bok coach Rassie Erasmus had previously mentioned that he was keen to see what the 24-year-old could offer at some point in the Rugby Championship, but those plans may have to be put on hold. By the looks of it, the injury could be quite serious.
