Re: Pierre Spies has been ruled out of the World Cup

because of clots on his lungs.
A statement from the South African team management on Monday said he
was expected to be out for six to eight months.
"It would have been great to be in France, but I must accept that it
is good that they diagnosed the problem much earlier. Matters could
have been worse had I continued playing," Spies was quoted as saying
in the statement.
Coach Jake White said Spies' absence was a devastating blow.
"It's a huge loss for the team," said White. "He is such a great
player who would have played a huge role in our campaign in France. It
would have been fascinating to see him in action with the likes of
Schalk Burger at the World Cup."

This is truly shithouse news.

Pity, he is a very athletic player who could well become a superstar
of the game. Was looking forward to watching him at the RWC

As was I - very much so. It's a real prick, his missing the RWC. Hoping he's OK for season 2008...
