Bosch: sick or injured?
NZPA Durban Should Gerald Bosch. Sduth • Africa’s out-of-fonn goal--1 kicker in the first test against i the Al! Blacks in Durban on ■ Saturday, have been replaced towards the end of the i match? That was the question; ■ some of the All Blacks were i ■ asking in the wake of the. Jl6-7 defeat. Bosch took the field suf-1 jfering from influenza and' i there was consternation in the Springbok camp when he j missed his first two shots at; ' goal and ended the day miss- j ing sjx kicks out of eight, in- j eluding two dropped goal at-! tempts. Finally. Bosch was led i from the field, and the Springbok skipper. Morne du Plessis. said afterwards I Bosch was feeling “ill and •' vomity.” and had to retire. The question was whether! the Snringboks were entitled ■ to replace him. There was adivergence of opinion on interpretation of law three, among refereeing experts. ! Clause two, section B of! law three states that a plaverf' may be replaced only when. in the opinion of a medical! practitioner the plaver is sol; injured that he should noth continue playing m the i match. The debate centres round I the word “injured” and whe- ’ ther it extends to cover an t illness contracted before the ; start of a match.
