Sept 26 (Reuters) – South Africa captain Warren Whiteley will not be fit for the last two matches of the Rugby Championship but should return for the tour of Europe, officials said.

A groin injury has kept the 30-year-old number eight out of his country’s last five internationals and he missed the Super Rugby final for the Lions.
