AUCKLAND (Reuters) - South Africa’s hopes of outmuscling the New Zealand pack in Saturday’s Rugby Championship clash in Auckland have been dealt a blow after powerful loose forward Jaco Kriel was ruled out of the game with a shoulder injury.
The dynamic Kriel has been diagnosed with a labrum tear picked up in Saturday's 23-23 draw with Australia in Perth.
