RUGBY: Habana missing for Springboks against England

Bryan Habana will miss South Africa’s rugby test against England tomorrow after failing to fully recover from a knee injury.

The Springboks said the 33-year-old winger, who has played in 123 tests, showed “significant improvement” this week after arriving in Britain with a knee problem, but will not be risked at Twickenham as “he is not yet 100 percent.”

They hope he can take part in the team’s remaining games in its end-of-season tour, against Italy and Wales. Outside center Francois Venter will make his test debut.
