THE Springboks, already injury-ravaged and fast running out of fit lock forwards, face "an unbelievably difficult task" against the All Blacks in the Tri-Nations this weekend, according to assistant coach Gary Gold. With more than 20 top players recuperating from injury back in South Africa, the Springboks lost second row forward Johann Muller to a hamstring injury last week before Flip van der Merwe was injured in the 20-39 defeat to Australia on Saturday. Team doctor Craig Roberts said Van der Merwe would need a "miraculous recovery" from a rib cartilage injury to face New Zealand in Wellington on Saturday, although his fellow lock Alistair Hargreaves should recover from an abdominal strain.
