Boks to miss Du Preez at Murrayfield


14.11.08

South Africa scrum-half Fourie du Preez has been forced to pull out of tomorrow's clash with with Scotland at Murrayfield.

The 26-year-old hurt a quadricep muscle in training and will be replaced by Ricky Januarie.

The Springboks' backs coach, Dick Muir, has defended Bryan Habana after the wing was accused by Australia great David Campese of "resting on his laurels" since the World Cup.

Habana has scored only one try in his last eight Tests but Muir said: "The old phrase about form being temporary but class being forever stands strong for Bryan."
